OTR or MJ for service in Westall/Springvale area for me...I'm currently running on motul from OTR but going to give martini oil a chance. Major service is coming up in the next 15,000km for me and got quoted $300 but really depends on what really get done... :)
If you need servicing done, I can arrange a time to come out onsite after hours or on a weekend
Had mine done at Sleeping, highly recommended!Quote:

Note the thing says INSPECT valve clearance, doesn't mean they'll do it.
You'd be suprised how many times workshop don't do the clearance and charge you anyway
I recken it's no more than $400 worth of work from a dealer, because valve clearance is only a $120 job (I got it done separately), the rest is just a normal service plus an air filter (which they might not even replace), which dealers should not charge more than $250
Ps: Hondas gonna try to rip you blind for the air filter, up to $75 iirc, I got an honda OEM airfilter shipped from the states via eBay for less than $30...
At 40,000km the valve clearances will be fine (unless you can noticeably hear a tappet noise).
If you are in Melbourne and are after a competitive alternative, drop me a PM
Nothing beats actually seeing the wok being done in front of you.Quote:
