anywys... happy and safe riding...

As Rossiter said, it will take some time for these guys to get used to servicing bikes like this. These are just initial hiccups. Does not mean that Honda is not paying attention to its service and support for these bikes.
I am personally quite satisfied with Honda support.

Did they ask you for your size before sending the jacket?

The bike needs a good wash, which should have been done before the service. Now it will wash away the chain lube.

O great!!!!
Good job from Honda.
Any change in performance after the oil change?

No they did not, and actually its quite big for me .... Yes, thebike always needs a good wash. Maybe if I was some place like europe, it wont need one so frequently...

Not noticeable at low speeds/rpm, but I feel at higher speed/RPMs, it has got slightly smoother. Overall, there is not much of difference.

What I was saying is, you should always take the bike for a wash when you know its going to be serviced.

fireblah · 11-03-2009, 11:37 AM

Yes you are right. But as the engineer showed up at 9 am and with no info about his arrival time, I did not get time for washing....
Anyways, next time ...

@Fireblah: Was only Castrol chain wax used to lube your chain or it was used more for protection over some other chain lube?

It was used for lubing as well as some protection from rusting. But being in a coastal area where humidity is very high all year round, rusting cannot be prevented.
I do not know if castrol chain wax is better than any other chain lube, but I am sure looking for it and gonna use it in future

Mr Ashok is a really nice chap he had to leave for your place the same eveing he serviced my bike, very careful with the stuff.

i see that you have switched to synthetic oil do let us know if you see and improvment in gear change and clutch operation. also does your bike make a clank sound on engaging the first gear after this?
