Taking mine in next weds. My tech says to wait till 800 mile, so valves seats properly, will do the "600" mile for around 300.00 he will open up the covers and measure valve clearances.

Any one else reach the mile stone yet?

I did mine about 60 miles early. No idea what they did really though.... I know they changed the oil

... They fixed my Spoiler!

Don't quote me just yet but I think it was roughly $100. I will ask my accountant when I call in later on to see whats for dinner tonight

My dealer quoted me 225 for the first service.

I just hit 594 yesterday inbetween rain storms. I got a prepaid service plan thru my dealer for $1000 so i just call and tell im coming.

 

[gundogg]

wow, my service is just over 100.

 

[ekd]

$300 seems high. My service contract is a 3 year scheduled maintenance deal. Covers parts and labor also is transferable to a new bike if I trade. I was quoted $225 by the next closest Honda dealer for the 600 service. By tthe time i get to 12000 the plan will have paid for it self.

I will do my own service including the valves. $300 is a rip off for almost nothing.

Best Accountant a man can ask for

And yea... she said it was indeed roughly $100 for the service.

600 mile maint.

WTF $300 for the break-in service????!!!!!
What kind of things did they do? Maybe I'm out of touch with reality, but that is crazy......

 

[rdkng88]

Just a rip off listen to the engine change the oil and send u away $300 lighter not me.

Digging more into the charge, it is for a full valve check. Which means remove tank, head covers and physically check each valve with feeler gauge. and oil change. Dealer is a little more. At least my guy I will know he will do it, I've read on the VTX sites some mechanics just listen to the valves and say they are ok.

Just a guesstimate.... how long should it take a skilled mechanic to do properly?

 

[VBALLER]

Dead,,, will ask him setting up apt. today

I'm hoping that I can set the valves without removing the tank. There should be plenty of room to work on the valves with the skinny tank left right where it is.. we'll see in a few weeks !

Well, I dropped my bike off today. $226 for valve adjustment and oil change. Took it in with 850 miles on her.
