    Hi all, this has probably been asked so many times but I'm struggling to find the info in the search bar.
    My blade is due a service but I want to get the best I can get for as cheap as possible. Can anyone recommend some companies that is cheap or maybe have some discount codes?
    Thanks in advance

    Basically I don't want to pay full whack for Castrol power 1 oil and iridium spark plugs if there is cheap sites around.

    Just buy off eBay ... you won't get much cheaper than that.

    Spark plugs aren't due for 32,000 miles btw.

    Oil and filter every 8k / OR 12 months - whichever comes first.

    Bit of a contradiction with this one, sadly "best" and "cheap" aren't regular bed friends.:(:D:D

    I was only asking where to get good parts cheap or using a discount code as I'm sure no one wants to pay full price for anything.
    I won't bother asking in future! :mad:

    Sorry pal i jumped on the band wagon a bit. Ebay is the place for cheap service parts. Try to go for original honda parts tho. Theres a guy on here does cheap oil.

    Opie Oils are on here and give a decent discount plus you know the oil is genuine.

    Keep an eye out at your local Tescos fuel station - I bought a load of Castrol Power 1 Fully Synthetic discounted to £2.70 a litre :)

    I bought my oil from Honda - £35

    Was not worth spending time shipping around to save few £'s

    Cheers mate, I've managed to source a load of bits cheap. Got castrol power 1 racing from halfords £30 for 4 litres with discount card and a K&N oil filter from eBay for a fiver.
    Bought an new magnetic sump bolt from Honda for a few quid too. All in for a service kit £39.95... Bargain cheapest service I've ever done

    I got Fuchs Silkolene Pro 4 Energy for £28 (someone on eBay selling what he never used) instead of £50 ish. Just need a K&N filter and have load of copper washers here, although just changed from Putoline DX4 that was changed when I purchased the bike nearly a 1000 miles ago with Fuchs Silkolene Super Four and I couldn't get over the difference, quieter gear change and no whining when going loading the engine going down the box. Pro 4 is supposed to be better again!
