Since my bike is old i have to take extra care of my bike. i just want to know how often do you get your tune up for your bike(s). And how much do you pay for it from a dealer or shops.
when is the right time to change your oil??

 

My advise is to change oil and filter at 5000km (sorry don't know miles) Plugs at 20 000km Air filter at 10 000km coolant and brake fluide at 20 000km lube your change every 1000km. Your bike should run forever down load you bikes workshop manaul and do most of it your self to save money .

definately get the manuel so you can do the work yourself. it will save you a lot of money. in the manuel will also tell you when to change all of that good stuff. i would say change all of it now because you never know how long ago the previous owner did anything to it. check the plugs, if they look dirty, change them. and def. lube the chain, as was already said.

 

Don't forget to flush out the coolant and service the forks.
I change the coolant on all my bikes every 2 years. I just buy several gallons of DISTILLED water to flush the systems, then fill up with the honda premix 50/50 coolant. I remove and drain overnight, then add fork oil to work the forks up and down, drain them again to clear out the gunk, then add fork oil to the recommended level.

All in all, yeah it's a pain in the butt if you're not used to doing maintenance, but if you don't....thats not good to neglect these machines. Transform your garage into a workshop and do everything yourself before handing over your machine to PAY someone to do fairly simple tasks. Most things I do myself and if after I try and can't get it right, i'll take it a mile down the road to my local honda shop.
