Checklists for 600 and 7200 Mile Servicing

[FroschRider]

What's the price your dealerships are charging for the 7200 mile service? By the time I get to 7200, this fall, all my tools will be in storage. The dealership I purchased from, is about 144 miles away, and say the charge is about $325, perhaps a little higher.

12000 km - 400 Euro, 24000 km - 900 Euro.

Sorry in advance if you have answered this somewhere else on the site,I've read most of the posts about finding these bearings with,shall we say,lack of grease,so did you repack these before this service,or is this the first time you've looked at them? From the history I've read on these,mine should make it to at least the first tire change,which I am planning on repacking them properly,regardless. But this pic doesnt look to to dry for a 7200 service?

I have only 20000 km. And this is Grease from
Factory. 20000 km is too much as Interval.

I had the dealer inspect mine at 3600mi, when I had them swap my tires and install Brock's ceramic bearings. They said there wasn't enough grease from the factory. Seems to vary

I will lubricate every 10000 km and then, also ceramic

As far as re-greasing the rear roller bearing, what grease should we use on this?
Some of the main criteria for this grease should be: synthetic, water resistant, and high temp.
Anyone out there who has done this before?

There's a whole thread on inspecting and greasing the rear wheel bearings including a pdf guide giving a step-by-step description. That guide is also listed in the sticky containing useful help and links.

For grease, Mobil1 XHP222 or other manufacturer’s equivalent would be a good choice. I used Bel-Ray Waterproof Grease.

What was your assment of the steering head bearings? Within limits or replaced? There are a few(alot actually) bikes out there with the same style roller bearings for the steering stem,some of the bikes have an issue with death wobble becuse of it,and the fix is to put the all-balls tapered bearings in which provide a stronger and wider surface area. Very well known in the Honda VTX world. If you found them to be worn enough for replacement,I will start trying to find the all-balls cross referance now for mine,as I experienced the differance personally.

FYI - bearings have the same part number as H2, H2R, ZX10R and Ninja 1000 so check those as well if not specifically listed for H2 SX.
