Basically the same level of service poppet got from her dealer when I checked it over the day after the service too much oil (not changed ) dangerously tight drive chain and over inflated tyres - apart from that everything was fine ie they didnt touch anything else / should get better service from Honda believe she got a full refund

Exactly. Regardless of the level, if the oil has just been changed it should look clear and bright, either golden yellow or red depending on what they use, but definitely not shi**y brown/black crud like that. Looks like someone has simply added a load of new oil without draining the old out.

BTW I do hope you plan to wash the measuring jug before tea time Andy

Don't agree that the warranty is useless as both Sue and I have had work done under it with no problems. Sue even had the frame of her Hornet replaced after the warranty had expired. Due to a known problem with the Altanator on the CBF they replaced them on bikes up to seven years old. Only last week we met a guy at Kent M/Cs who had reported a small split in the seat cover of his VFR1200. Due to the distance he lives from the dealer he had only had to email them a picture of the seat. He just walked in with the old seat and out with a brand new one. Again no arguments. Im sure their are

Interesting.. My dad had an old Ford once that needed similar treatment to get him to work!

If you switch your display from miles to kilometres you can easily go 1,000 without any problem.

I can never fathom why owners of new bikes seem so reluctant to run them in properly (hard) as they never seem to keep them long enough anyway for any issues to occur.

You guys, you do crack me up. I've come to bed cos I can't bear the tension of the women's hockey final. By the way, on the VFR forum a chap asked what to do if the slack can't be taken up within full range of the adjuster? Another suggested it might be time to replace the swingarm with a longer one. See, you guys (and gals) are much nicer on here

Long long time ago I took simple chain alignment tool and added "laser" pointer to it. Cheap and works just fine.
