    Should be no problem, but the dealer may charge you full price for the first service anyway. Better check with them first. Other than the oil change they mainly make sure everything is torqued down to specs and do a visual inspection of the bike. The only reason I'm even bringing it in for the first service is I don't want any warranty issues down the road (i.e. Don't want Honda saying my warranty is void because I never brought it in for the first service). That being said, Honda's are pretty much bullet proof so I don't expect any issues.

    +1 to this. Was riding the other day and thought my front tire sounded 'funny'. Pulled off and checked it.....24psi! Back tire was at 32psi....'twas my own fault for never checking it before. Promptly inflated both to 41psi. Changed the ride significantly.

    Also +1 to Get-Go stations, FREE air, and it was even one of the fancy ones where you set your psi and the pump beeps and shuts off when it's hit it.

    Don't know but after the first oil change the book states an oil change and filter change every 12000km/8000m, we do get ABS as standard here a swell. Strange isn't it.

    Gorgeous bike. And I do like full-size wings, just like ribbing their owners. I'm sure I'll be one sooner or later
