8ace 104 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Hi, I'm planning to service the bike myself when the warranty runs out in April so I've created an service sheet to make documenting it easier. I'll print off a sheet each time and clip any receipts to it so if/when I decide to sell at least it'll have a complete (not Honda) service history. I've take it from the 2017 manual and removed the first service items and the non relevant ones (check throttle. etc) Feel free to use it. Edited February 21, 2019 by 8ace 2 Link to post
riders in the storm 475 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I would value a service record from an obviously enthusiastic owner far higher than a dealer service history. Who knows what the apprentice will or won't have done to your bike....! Link to post
Natlas 56 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Nice job 8ace. Maybe add fork oil replace once in a blue moon? Link to post
arengle 449 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 are you sure is right, valve clearance is every 16k not every 8k? Link to post

I replaced the seals and fork oil on my NC at two and a half years as one of the original seals was weeping very slightly. I can't tell you how filthy the old oil was, it looked like Honda had decided to use old engine oil rather than decent fork oil. Link to post

Interesting ! spark plug change at 32000 miles !! the way i'm going (4000 miles on my 17 plate) that would be plugs in 10 years .!! Link to post
DaveM59 1,603 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The only thing 'wrong' with doing this is that if you trade in at a dealer they will either not take this record from you, or they will bin it and not pass it on to the next owner. Nothing pertinent to previous owners can be passed on. With a private sale it's a brilliant idea and basically what I do. Also good for your own records. I keep a blow by blow record of what parts are changed and services on the date and mileage as well as MOT dates and any issues. This includes tyres, belts/chains, batteries, oil, filters etc When Honda recently looked under warranty at the Forza when the EMU lamp came on, they were not concerned about the fact that I did my own oil change at 700 miles, but they did notice a replacement screen, hand guards and indicator bleepers so they did inspect fairly closely and they did refit the battery cover panel which I couldn't get to go back on properly after I took it off.
