I have about 2800 miles on my bike.
Can anyone tell me at what miles should i bring it to be serviced.
I skipped the first one at 600? I decided to save the money and do it myself.

what will they do this time?

thanks in advance...

 

When you skipped the first one at 600 did you adjust the valves yourself? Or do thouse still need to be adjusted?

 

the 600 mile oil change is a rip off
they change the oil, inspect the chain for tension, make sure that there are no bolts coming loose etc
basically do it yourself go buy a filter and oil and have at it


by the time mine was ready for the 600 serice the oil had been changed twice already

its not due for another oil change until 8000 miles

(i go 3K regardless of what the book says)

keep the receipts of all maintenance so you can prove that the oil was changed and there is no damage to your warranty

 

well I did two oil changes already
one at 600 miles
the other at 2000 miles
I did adjusted the chain, but I didn't touch the valves (I was told by the dealer that the only thing they were going to do was check bolts, chain, oil.
I am now wondering about the valves tough...

Should I get the second service right now or wait a little longer?

 

they dont touch the valves

per the service manual the valves are not checked until 16000 miles

the 600 mile service consists of
oil filter
oil
engine idle speed inspection
brake inspection
nuts bolts fasteners inspection
steering head bearings inspection


4000 miles
engine idle speed inspection
brake fluid inspection
brake pad inspection
clutch fluid inspection

8000 mile
fuel line inspection
throttle operation inspection
oil filter
oil
radiator coolant inspection
engine idle speed inspection
cooling system inspection
secondary air supply inspection
brake fluid inspection
brake pad inspection
brake system Inspection
brake light switch inspection
headlight aim inspection
clutch inspection
side stand inspection
suspension inspection
nuts bolts fasterns inspection
wheels/tires inspection
steering head bearing inspection



you are on your own after 8K my hands are tired

bottom line its not a ducati
the valves get checked the first time at 16K miles

 

haha LOL
Thanks for the info man. Really Aprpeciate.
So in others words they just like to go in your wallet and beat you for cash.

Well They Won't be getting nothing for me.

Once again thanks to all..

 

you got it

the 16K is the real big one that you should go ahead and have them do since its where the valves get adjusted

i personally have never had a bike long enough to get there

i am on bike 4 now so hopefully i dont get bored with my 1kRR and trade it in like the rest

 

I intend to keep mines for as long as I can, providing I keep the ups trucks off my back (I crashed against one with my R6{tottatled}).
I like honda so much that if I have to change it it will be an cbr 1k 06.

 

good choice
i traded in my 04 GSXR600 for my 06 1KRR and so far I am in love

 

The dicks at my Stealership told me they adjust the valves at 600. This is why I love this site. Thanks baxsom you just saved me a ton of money!!
