Just want to report on the very positive experience I had with the 1000 km service today.
I went to the dealership without an appointment.
When I arrived an office lady came out even before I could take my helmet off.
I told her about the service and she said it could be done immediately.
She asked about the service book, which I handed over.
The work started within a minute by 2 mechanics.
I watched what they did and as far as I could see:
- Topped up coolant.
- Checked and adjusted air-pressure in tires.
- Cleaned brake calipers with compressed air.
- Checked and adjusted chain and lubed chain.
- Checked and adjusted play in clutch and throttle. I asked for the minimum play for both.
- Greased foot pegs, side-stand, all levers.
- Torqued most bolts and nuts.
- Oil and filter change (Honda Protech Ultra full synthetic 10w30).
- Checked all lights.
- Did a test ride and tested brakes, throttle and suspension.
When they were finished the office-lady came out with the bill and the stamped book.
In and out within 20 minutes. Bill was 1800 Baht (about $60).
Most of that price was the oil and the filter. Labor is extremely cheap here.
A very happy customer ...
