600 Mile Service Today

[Guest Southerner]

I'll be at Doble's at 08:30 this morning for my X's 600 mile service.

 

There are a couple of issues I need them to look at - I'll check back later with how it went and the cost.

[Guest surreyhills1]

Good luck with the service, my first one due soon.

I will be interested to know what you get charged for the service.

I have been quoted between £150 & £180 for mine.

[Guest snowball]

The labour is free and my 750x service at 600 miles cost £38 so ask before you book it in as people are being ripped off.

Dave I think that we are lucky with our dealer. As I understand it as far as Honda are concerned the free labour is no longer automatic but is at the dealers discretion.

[Guest Southerner]

All done and dusted at Doble this morning.

 

Quoted price was £120 - less £10 service voucher and less £25 which I overpaid on accessories when I bought the X brought it down to £85.

 

Issues reported when it went in:

 

1. Occassional annoying squeak from front end somewhere.

 

Solved - 'Frunk' lid adjusted. No more squeak.

 

2. Small area of paint chipped on rear offside wheel rim. About 3mm diameter.

 

Solved - White marker from factory where tyre valve checked tight! Doh....! Did I feel daft! Itwas dried on so felt like paint defect, honest!

 

3. Handlebars needed adjusting as my right hand was very slightly back from my left.

 

Solved - Adjusted straight. 

 

I hadn't changed the clock since BST kicked in - that was noticed and changed so a nice touch that. Shows the tech was paying attention.

 

All in all, completely happy with today's events.

Just passed mine. Nothing special - oil and filters. It costs 55 Euro. Unfortunately I was able to drop the bike sidewise. Now I have to change the clutch lever Still usable but makes me angry every time I see it 

[Guest Southerner]

55 Euro is real cheap Peter.

[prr 153]

Yeah. I expected a lot more

[Guest szucsi]

Mine was around 64 Euro in Budapest, Hungary.

[wozza 967]

Correct..ain't half cheap where you are for servicing.

[Guest GBH]

£120 for the first service on a DCT which has an additional filter plus I asked them to use Castrol Power 1 10-30 which cost extra but I have some left over from the 4 litres.

[edgey999 115]

First service today - free as part of purchase

 

Unfortunately I have picked up a puncture and the rear tyre is about 1/3 worn!! Two new tyres £240, bummer!

[deecat 318]

What tyres have you gone for Mark.

[edgey999 115]

What tyres have you gone for Mark.

 

I put on what my Honda dealer suggested which are Dunlop Roadsmart 2 front and rear.

[deecat 318]

You should get a lot  better mileage with those.

It would be hard to get worse without buying another Hayabusa

Did they change the clutch filter?  I had thought that was not till 16,000 miles ( I don't have the workshop manual to check),  but the part only costs around £5 and the work is barely 5 mins extra. 

[Guest GBH]

Yes the clutch filter is changed at 600 miles on a DCT and then every 2 years or 16,000 miles
