Have been talking to my dealer / mechanic because I am closing in on 12,000 miles end of the year. My manual says it's time for the first check (which I will do myself). She looked it up in her computer, and said my manual was wrong (outdated I guess this means), the first check was now at 15,000. Seems to indicate to me that the Honda maintenance department was more conservative in the beginning, and is now slowly extending the "distance".
How about the following approach. Check the first time at 15,000 (as you did, Dave). If it needed adjustment do it "by the book". If it was within spec skip the next control. Does this make sense ? It's somewhat between many checks (by the book) and no checks as you mentioned.
