Can someone advise me? It's a 100mile round trip to my nearest Honda dealer. If I get a local dealer to perform my 8000 mile service will his stamp in my book be recognized as valid and not cause me problems should I need to prove I've adhered to the required maintenance schedule down the line ? Nick.
Shouldn't do if the schedule is followed and approved parts are used. Block exemption was passed a while back that allowed consumers to service their vehicles at establishments that were not franchised/owned by the original manufacturer. I'm only guessing but the establishment must be an actual servicing garage and VAT registered.
That's good news. Yes D+R Motorcycles (Hereford) comply with those conditions so I think I can trust them with the the pretty straightforward 8K service. Cheers mate.
Concur! Any VAT registered Garage can do the work as long as the OEM's stipulated schedule is followed.
I squared with Honda that ill be doing all My services myself before I bought bike as I service it every 2 or 3 TDs they were fine we are vat registered I buy the filter off them and oil from halfords
Cheers WW. I did have a look around Brindley Honda in Wolves (my nearest main dealer) recently and I'll be dealing with them from time to time but D+R in Hereford have a good reputation and are a lot closer so I'll trust them with the straightforward stuff. Still don't know where to go for the 2year ABS brake fluid change tho. I'd like to find someone who's done it a few times and is familiar with the rather complicated procedure.
I can service, do valve clearances bleed brakes , change engines but the abs I'm a Virgin on so I'd like to try on my own before anyone else's . Can't see the big deal really cars with abs at work exactly the same as non to bleed
That's the thing though, they don't! Conventional ABS systems are more directly linked in there hydraulics to mechanical peddle/lever inputs, hence why you feel the pulsating when in operation. The Honda system is technically all Fly by wire with no direct link from lever to the hydraulics operating the calipers and hence no pulsating when in operation. It's only when in fault mode or when disconnected that a series of valves open up and the system reverts to conventional operation (ish)
Dont want to p*ss on your chips guys but technically that part of block exemption legislation applies applies to car consumers only and not for motorbikes
I suppose you have worked on the new Lexus hybrid system man thats hard work !!!! that has 4 different ecu s for every corner it's all fly by wire now mate cars bikes everything all I'm saying is that I could bleed one but wouldn't wanna try it on someone elses bike before mine . ABS is the same principle as it started many years ago a pump that stops it locking up the abs pump on a blade if you cross reference the numbers on the pump (modulator) is the same as a Toyota ago c1 or a 107 so not that much difference Do you work for Honda buddy ?
Work for Honda? No mate I run my own company. Fair enough though Wedgie, if that's the case, then there must be a reason why conventional bleeding doesn't work satisfactorily mustn't there? I suspect my supplying Honda Dealer just did a quick pump and squirt on my ABS system when they broke into it when fitting the extended front brake line for my Riser Bars. Result is my brakes to are shyte and hence why I'm booking in at Arthurs for some HEL lines and a PROPER Full bleed as per OEM
Have you two checked out the 22 pages of instructions for a complete brake fluid change? Done 'by the book' it involves removal of the radiator FFS! I've posted comments about it before. I'm with WW in saying I'd like to have a go at it on me own bike and I suppose when you've done it 3 or 4 times, like everything else, you'd be wondering what all the fuss was about. How far is Arthur from you SW? Word around the campfire is that the bloke knows what he doin. And btw SW if this was Countdown, it's TOO not TO. Ya fekin retard.
Yeah not having a go sinewave just banter bud . They seem to make everything more effort to get more pennies . Why make such a complex system and customers pay the price
That's what's pissing me I paid over the odds for ABS mainly so I got a good px at a later stage .What I resent is the fact no one said anything at the day of purchase about enhanced service cost as I would have sacked it off .
Incorrect you are! The Difference between Two, Too and To is frequently confused in English, sometimes even for native speakers. Sometimes To, Too and Two can all be used in the same sentence. While they all sound the same, it is in the context that you can understand the meaning. Examples: It was too late to buy two bottles of wine for the party. Don't take too long as there are two other people who want to use the internet. Below we have included different meanings and uses for each one: TO Can be used as a preposition of movement Can be used as a preposition of direction Can be used in conjunction with times Can be used to mean 'receive' Can be used as the first part of an infinitive Examples: I will take a taxi to the airport. The train leaves from Montreal to Ottawa. The office is open from 8.30am to 6.30pm. I gave a present to my friend Paulina. Next year I want to spend six months in Europe. TOO Can be used before an adjective or an adverb for reinforcement to mean 'very' or 'more than sufficient' Can be used as an adverb to mean 'also' or 'in addition' Examples: This dress is too big for me. He was driving too fast so the police gave him a fine. She has been to Switzerland too. (= also) I got very drunk last night and my friend did too. (= also) TWO Only used as a number Examples: There are two cars in the car park. Sweden has two official languages.
