As my bike is laid up for the winter and as it had passed the 16k mile service advice, I’ve taken the plunge and decided to strip the bike myself for this major service as I’ve a good mate who can do the actual valve check. I’m fine up to a point in servicing, but always leave the really technical stuff to those better qualified. But my god, I’ve never had a bike that needs soooo much taken off it to gain access to the oily bits. Although the Honda workshop manual doesn’t say the rads need to come off, the sages say it’s much easier to do the check with them removed. So far.....
Seat, fairing, tank, air box, throttle bodies, coil pack tray, radiators and loads of other bits and bobs have come off. It’s no much wonder that Honda apparently charge £500+ for this service (allegedly a 9 hour job). Fek knows if it’s going to ever run again by the time everything’s bolted back together.
