How do you know what scheduled maintenance is for this bike?
Is there a guide or chart somewhere?
When is the first tune up? oil change?

That schedule is found in the service manual.
There is no "tune up" anymore with solid state ignition and fuel injection. Basically oil & filter changes at 600 then 8000 miles, valve check or adjust at 8000, air filter at 12,000. Brake fluid change at 12,000. Coolant change 16,000. Spark plugs at 24,000 I think. Inspect or adjust cables at valve checks, lube chain at 300. Not much.
Thank you, Dave. What page is that on? I believe you, I just want to make a log for the so I can keep track of that stuff.
I don't know the page number but it is at the beginning of Section 3. This is in the NC700X/S/A Service Manual, not the Owners Manual.
Thanks. That's why I couldn't find it. It's not in the Owner's manual!
I'd like to learn how to do the maint. myself, so it's time to order the manual.
Do you guys do that? Do your own scheduled maint?
I'm pretty sure there is a table in the owner's manual with some of this info. I did get the service manual and I typically do maintenance stuff myself.
At first glance the US version of the schedule in the Owners Manual has some important differences in the air filter and brake fluid maintenance items compared to the online version so linked. I do all my own maintenance.Here is a link to the owner's manual in case your dealer didn't give you one. http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-technical/201-honda-nc700x-owners-manual.html The owner's manual tells what is on the schedule, but not how to perform all the tasks. For more info then what's contained therein, buy the service manual from Helm, Inc. 2012 NC700X Service Manual - Helm Incorporated

What would be considered a reasonable cost to have the 600 mile service done at the dealership. When I signed the papers on mine the dealer said it was going to be $320 ("takes 3 hours to check every thing from top to bottom") but we was trying to sell me a prepaid service contract (I didn't bite). I doubt its really much more than a simple oil change which I can easily do - but was curious in case I get lazy.
