New F6B,, dealer told me 1st service at 600 miles.

I've always done all of my own work on my scoots. It's a combination of money and trust. Both of which I was short on. The B was my first band new scoot and I decided to let my dealer do,all the work. Things are different now. I'm short on time and I can now afford it. So far they seem to be doing right by me. So I'll let them do all the recommend servicing and I'll use my time to ride.

When they set 4,000 miles...make sure you look at the calendar interval as well. I have seen oil changes at very high mile intervals, only to discover a six or twelve month oil change requirement.

Here is my take. I work as a technical advisor in computers for a very large automotive dealership, and spend time with ASE certified techs in the shop. They always show me a General Motors engine in the shop to have the cam tensioners replaced, or something else, because of the extended service interval and oil monitoring system.

They tell me - I change my oil at 3,000 miles! After taking so many engines apart, they can tell immediately if the oil wasn't changed when it should have, deposits in the engine as well excessive wear. I figured if they saw the world that way, I would follow their experience and change oil at 3,000 miles on the bike, and know the engine is never going to have a problem.

Your bike and your money and do whatever you are comfortable with....If your somewhat of a wrench, change your own oil and filter at the initial change at whatever mileage makes you happy, check the rear gear oil yourself, check the tires, fluids etc. and ride on until the 4000 mile check.....The dealer does not do much at 600 miles but get your money.....Most riders on this board, I doubt, have taken their bike into a dealer for the 600 mile check-up!!!...12,000 miles on mine now and I have only been back to the dealer once for the brake re-call and to change the clutch and brake fluids while it was there.....JMHO and ride safe...BTW doing your oil/filter changes etc. will not void the warranty....Just keep some records/receipts of what and when you did the work just in case someone tries to give you a hard time which rarely occurs....

Just to clear up any mis-conceptions about my comments above, I changed my oil at 500 miles initially and then every 3000/3500 thereafter...Never ever go more than that in all my bikes over the years and never an issue with engines or trans....

I'm fairly sure they can't make you pay for warranty oil change, if they are required by Honda. The dealer is trying to get some extra money from you. Do you own oil change, check everything for tight and lube whatever the owners manual says. keep notes / log, proof of purchase and all that stuff. ====Harley got in big trouble with the feds for telling customers they had to use HD oil or their warranty was void. Feds. said thats a big NO NO. I heard HD got a big fine == anybody have any info on that??
The dealer can suggest you use this oil or that oil. Just so what you use matches what your owners manual says - weight & letter codes on the can, same as in manual. ==
I'll say this, I've been AMSOIL in everything I own, for 30+ years, in all my landscaping 2 & 4 stroke motors, trucks, cars, boats & MC's =I've never lost a engine due to oil failure. When I retired I kept a old 1995 blower, 1999 weed whip & a 1987 riding mower, they never had anything but AMSOIL in them. 2016, they're all still running great. = just sayin'
