To any Aussie 'Bird owners. Anything like Jaws and John Bike Bits in Oz ? My local Honda dealer's prices are something else

Update:- Bike due for its 1000 klm service ... Quoted by local Honda Shop = $250.00  Did it myself for $63.00 (Honda oil, filter) as per service manual downloaded from this site And FYI ... Honda GN4 Oil (mineral) is sourced from Caltex.

Just be careful with doing it yourself. It's an easy job, but your warranty may be in jeopardy because the service wasn't carried out be an authorised service centre - your log book needs to be stamped by the service centre for each specified service.

Cheers mate, but the manual doesn't specifically say that the servicing HAS TO BE done by an authorised service centre ... And I think that this will stand me in good stead ! ...... Hopefully all will be well and we don't end up in court

Dragon, if you are not a licensed motorcycle mechanic, and the person performing service work is also not same, Honda will very quickly void your warranty I assure you.

Hey It's an 07 blackbird, nothing will ever go wrong. Honda has been making that model for 6 years with just a couple of paint changes

Ha!!! both you guys are soft..............I got my new hornet 9 very late august and I am up to 16000k's. And I AM gunna get a bird VERY soon as well A far as the stamped services go, I am with Tweet on this...........just go to a cheaper mechanic after the 1000k's job. Saying that, on a new bike I will change both oil and filter at 100k,s......500k's and then do the 1000k's service. (it is amazing how much crap comes out with that first oil) I also put a rare earth magnet on the sump plug to pull the metals that bypass the filter onto the plug. I do oil and filter changes halfway between scheduled services as there is nothing better for prolonging ya engine than fresh clean oil............plus it is a cheap and easy do!
