7500 mile service Should I do it myself?
 
Although the bike is less than 2 years old it didn't come with the original warranty card, so it's probably not under warranty anyway.

Good question, let me know what you decide & how you get on. Mine's just had the 4k service. Mine is under warranty, but I know a friendly mechanic that will stamp the book :) (just a shame he works at a H*nda stealership).

Depends how competant a mechanic you are! :wink: Mine passed 7500 a month or 2 ago - IIRC the only thing that may throw you is the throttle body sync, but apart from having to buy vacuum gauges, I didn't find this particulary difficult.

OK no way then - I'll try & get Steve Jordan's to do the tricky bits and let me do the easier bits. I'd printed off the service schedule - better go and read it :oops:

It will still be under warranty regardless of whether you have the card or not.

When you bring it in let me know the VIN and i will change the details of ownership over to yourself so the warranty is in your name.

Well big up Steve Jordan's :thumbsup: Not what Crescent told me :roll:

If it keeps it in warranty they can have the whole job.

Just be gentle with the bill I've got tyres to pay for as well!
