My dealer changes the oil and filter for 19.95. I can't even do it that cheap, plus I don't get my hands dirty.....Just an FYI

That's insane! When I took my bike in for the 600 mile oil change, they charged me $85.00! That's why I'll be doing it myself from now on.

Did they do anything else like check the valves?

if you dont use motorcycle oil it will get your clutches sooner or later.the oil has an additive for the clutch.i use honda oil because i have a 5 year plan.it dosent cost me anything.

Full synthetic at 600 mile service. They checked valves, bike and changed oil for 200.00 at Honda dealer.
Bought the 5year warranty from Honda after I got bike for 700.00 or so spread out over 3 payments no extra fee charged to card. Could have gotten a bit cheaper but cheap aint always good IMHO!

SO does the synthetic motorcycle oil have that additive?
