dragolith Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hey,Well my bike has 15,855 miles on it and I guess she is due the 16k? Does anybody have any idea how much it might be? Should I take it to Honda or will I get ripped off? I did for the last service/Mot and it was a quick turnaround with a loan bike too. I have not ridden this bike since November 2009, but she has been with another man from 2010 until Jan this year who replaced the chain and sprockets and had an MOT done, he put barely any mileage on her though.I checked the oil level last night during Idling, and it seems a bit low, just over the minimum line. Should I ride? Or should I ride straight to the dealer for the 16k?Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Change the oil and filter, Check the brake pads and change the brake fluid.You could oil the cables, check the tension of the chain and pressure/condition of the tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 surely you dont check oil level with engine idling do you on a cbr600 i would of said run it for a minute then turn it off give it a minute to settle then check it on centrestand or bike upright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragolith Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 TC - I am no good at this, I will have to get it done professionally. Though I think I can manage an oil change but that's about it...Eastanglian Biker - I let it idle to warm up then switch it off and check the level. I am not sure when the last oil change was, does anybody know the full list of things done on a 16k Service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Dunno mate....but it could be a valve clearance service....which normally works out pretty expensive. Is it injected? If so it can be a good idea to put it in to a genuine Honda service centre to make sure the ECU maps are kept up to date.Other than that the rest is fairly simple.....

dragolith Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yeah it is. She's an 02' 600Fi. My thoughts precisely about the ECU... (well, not EXACTLY...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think the valve clearences are done at 18K on those Drag.it was about £400+ when i had mine done on that bike at Honda in 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragolith Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Cheers TC, I'll brace myself for the call to Honda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 400 quid! That's the reason I do all my own servicing! Drag its never too late to learn you know Google is your friend for the service interval to see what needs doing buy a Haynes manual and we will all help but it is easy the hardest part is getting the fairing off! Personally I would do oil and filter air filter plugs brake fluid check pads check valve clearance balance throttle bodies lube cables and all pivot points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedevil Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/escapedmonk/serviceintivals.pngIf you want the full workshop manual let me know and i'll upload it for you.Valves are checked at 16K, if they need to be adjusted expect 2-3 hours labour charge as well as £5 per shim thats replaced, there are 16 shims that may need to be replaced but usually some can be swapped around.

dragolith Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks guys, today when I was moving her into the back garden (it's VERY tight) - I dropped her One bent brake lever, broken indicator casing and scuffs on the fairings...First time I have fully dropped her, last time I dropped her I was sat on top, so it didnt hit the floor as hard.And I was looking forward to a ride today too **UPDATE**Please upload the manual, thanks.I have decided to work on it myself over the coming weeks. I used to fix computers, surely that will help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
