Hi
I had my annual service in June and it cost £200 and a few pence. That was in the Highlands, not a lot of competition up here you should get it for less.

I work for a Honda dealership and we would charge around £150.

Thanks guys at least now I have some idea what I am looking at....

Another question...Do I have to use a Honda Dealer to do my bike servicing..(New Bike)......or can I use any motorcycle mechanics....

Hi Jake69,

I assume you are the original buyer/owner, then to keep the Honda warranty alive, as it were, I believe you should have it done by an authorised Honda dealer. They come with a 2 year warranty and I personally wouldn't want the risk of Honda having a "get out clause" should anything go wrong big time.   
The service book does state you should all services, maintenance, and repairs carried out by a Honda dealer of course and pay their rates 

Having a dealer stamp in the service book used to add to the trade-in/potential sale price, when you want to get rid of it.

They are my thoughts only, I will have mine done by the supplying dealer, until my warranty expires. I have a Honda trained mechanic friend who will probably work on mine thereafter.

Thanks Tiggy...my bike is a 1 year old and yes I thought the same after the 2 year warranty was out I would take it somewhere else.......I wish I knew a Honda bike mechanic......lol

Well done mate, I would keep with Honda and get the book stamped up, etc. just for your own peace of mind too.

Mine will be in shortly as she is a year old and 6000 miles. Just got to bite the bullet and pay unfortunately   

[Jake69]

Yeh your right .....

That's my plan, pay for the first year service then after that DIY as the warranty will be expired when it comes up to its second service. I lost about £500 on trade in price on my 6 year old Pan Euro due to no service history, but it would have cost me at least £2000 to have it done by the dealer, no brainer IMO. I am a mechanic though.
