Guest Smiffy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) I booked the bike in for it's first service but can't have it done until the 5th September. I'm pretty much up to the 600mile mark at the moment. Can anyone say what margin of error Honda can allow on that mileage before the warranty might become invalid?

ScooterCommuter 151 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 My dealer said it was pretty common for them to be done around the 1k mark as they're often busy. 1 Link to post
Rocker66 34,460 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 My dealer usually says 600-800 but up to 1k under certain circumstances. 1 Link to post

Cheers Rocker, I thought I might have been confined to barracks for the next fortnight. I probably might go to a max of 800 (fine weather permitting). Link to post
kayz1 2,928 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 What Rocker said but do make sure your dealer is told by you that the mileage will be more than the book states and by how much, also make sure he/she says OK.. 2 Link to post

I actually did that this afternoon and they seemed fine about it and they also put a note on the puter to that effect. Edited August 22, 2018 by Smiffy Link to post

Cheers, but I seem to have a thing with red bikes lately. My last 2 bikes before this one were mostly red. I was trying to take a photo of the view at the back but the bike kept getting in the way.

SeaSideGuy 51 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Just had my Integra in dealers for its first service at 903miles, as they couldnt get me in for a month. Mind you only had to pay for oil & filters this time too. 1 Link to post
Andy m 23,545 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 This is a game I've had to play on the last five bikes; Hand over the deposit, try to book the service, get told there is no need. Collect bike, ask for service the week or fortnight after while I'm there. Get shocked looks and frantic shuffling, have to explain I can do 600 miles in a week but will keep my old bike if they aren't ready. Padgetts had learned from the previous go. I think the sales guy had made a note which forced the service department to squeeze it in. The first Honda, Suzuki and Guzzi were all over 1000 miles by the time the dealers were ready. The Enfield I did myself as their only mechanic went on maturnity leave. Andy 2 Link to post
elbee 753 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) I did my own: Honda parts, correct oil, keep receipts, took pics. Easy. edit: and red is the only colour worth considering. non-red bike owners are wrong. Edited August 23, 2018 by elbee statement of the bleeding obvious 1 2 1 Link to post

TheEnglishman 401 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Mine was done by an independent garage at 950 miles and Honda honoured subsiquent warranty claims without question. Stop worrying and ride it more! 1 Link to post
