Re: Service intervals/costs

Hi, I see that point but if I chose to do my own servicing and the first oil change and something like head bearings fail as you have said, I dont see how Honda could refuse the warranty repair as i followed there service schedule.

Re: Service intervals/costs

Hi, yeah the owners manual says oil and filter at 600 miles then mine says oil every 8k and filter at 16k intervals, spark plug every 8k. Will do it myself as it says just oil and filter at 600m so I'm not paying Honda £100 to change my oil, plus an afternoon off work because they don't work a Sat m...

Centre Stand

Hi,
After reading about centrestand being seized or not working I thought I would check my new bikes stand.
I can see why they go bad, mine had a tiny amount of grease at one end and dry everywhere else so I packed it with acf50 waterproof grease, should be good for a while.

Re: 2019 Forza 300 Fork Springs

I did read a bit on Bitubu springs that said there upgrade kit was based on a rider weight of about 85kg. I will carry on looking, I want 1 thousand miles on it...

I go of the centistoke reference not the weight on the bottle so would need to know w...
