    Yeah it is mate. There is a schedule for services in the manual . The first big service is 16,000 where they check valve clearences and change the plugs. Everything upto there is minor service ( oil +oil filter ) i think its an optional brake fluid change at 12,000

    i think that you are wrong about the spark plugs you check them at 16k and change them 32k but correct about the valve clearence at 16k

    Even better.. My last honda was change plugs at 16k and i was told the new blades have the same service schedule but i havnt actually checked my service book. Either way its the labour charge for the valve check that makes it an expensive service. Honda dealer robbed me on the last bike and charged me 380 and the valve clearances was all in spec. Bar stewards lol
