600 mile service

[MikePCX]

I'm real close to hitting 600 miles on my PCX150 and I was wondering if I should do the first oil change on my own or if there is something special they do for the first 600 mile service. Any advice?

They're supposed check everything - make sure nothing has worked loose, etc.

I just had mine serviced and they checked the valve clearances too - they were a tad tight by all accounts.

If you have a good dealer that you trust, and know they'll give the bike a good once-over to check everything, I recommend having the dealer do the first service. A good dealer will make sure everything is tight, factory-lubed, and in place properly.

If your local dealer is less than competent, you can do the maintenance yourself. The two main things performed the first maintenance are the valve adjustment (how-to located here: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24 ) and an oil change (how-to located here: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25 ).
