Hi the service book lists what is needed at each service. 1st service is 6k  they drop the oil and filters (two on a DCT ) adjust the chain and pat it's backside. 

The next is 12 k and much the same and check the valve clearance. The next is 24k by which time the Honda warranty or dealer warranty maybe out. 

Oil, filters, coolant, adjust valves , change brake fluid ,inspect pads ,chain , sprockets and advise on replacing parts used or worn prior to replacement. Kerrching Kerrching would sir like to trade it in for a new one. 

 

The thing is not a lot on these bikes is difficult to do following the very detailed instructions in the proper Honda workshop book. £60 but well worth it.

Trade in full service history makes  little difference in value if you keep the bike tidy. Or sell on privately when the time comes. A nice example will always sell on.

Once the warranty is out any good bike garage can service it a lot cheaper than main dealer as it is a simple bike to do routine servicing on and If you have the time and somewhere to do it the servicing parts are easy to obtain. I hope that helps.

Use this particular Castrol oil,  'Power 1' and the two filters shown in the foto below, after the video;  the small filter in the plastic bag is for the DCT machines and is only available as an accredited Honda spare.  The Hi-Flo engine-oil filter is coded HF204 'Racing' & has the 17mm nut welded on the end - saves pigging about with an oil filter removal wrench. It's a doddle to do this oil-change service yourself provided you have a centre-stand.  More fiddly without, but possible.

The '40' written on the bottle is the price in euro, not the fluidity.

 

Useful tip :-   When installing the new engine-oil filter, as well as the standard tip of smearing oil round the new rubber O-ring, after checking that the old one isn't left up inside the casting ( ! ) try to pour as much new engine oil into the new filter as you can.  That saves the half-second or so of starvation when you fire up, as the pump sucks the new oil out of the sump to lube the cyinders.

 

See my oil-change how-to video :-

Hiflow now do the dct filter - I use in my wshop Rock oil guardian 10w 40 semi synthetic   no complaints  from customers  about clunky gears etc can't be bad as Rock oil sponsor British superbikes

I can confirm the Rock Oil Guardian Trisaki uses is good stuff 

 

Made my changes a little smoother and less 'jerk' selecting first when its hot. Cant say the same for  the jerk riding it tho

Good news about the little paper HiFlo DCT filter, Mark.  Can you remember the code ?
