#1 Unread post by wickedrider »

I am due for an 8000 mi servicing. Approximately how much should I expect to pay? How long should it take?

you need a valve inspection, oil, oil filter change, new plugs.

Hondas service manual rates it at a 4.2 hour job. Where we are here in New Mexico, the whole deal will cost you just under four hundred bucks.

Obviously your local taxes and labor rates will make a difference. The VTX1800s use Iridium plugs. Those things are around 15 bucks a piece, and you need four.
