New Honda 919 Maintenance

Just purchased the 2006 919. Has about 250 miles on it. The dealer of course told me about the first 600 mile service. What is involved in this and can I do it myself? (I am mechanically inclined.)
Thanks in advance for your help!

Off the top of my head, your 919's little brother, the 599, requries the following at 600 miles:
oil and filter change
steering head bearing inspection
Check/lube cables
Check tire pressure
Check clutch and throttle cable freeplay
And that's it. I just did the oil change since everything else is I take care of weekly, anyways

Check the owner's manual. They usually have a time table showing what maintenance to do and when.

You inspect your steering head bearings weekly?

Shh, I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but I have x-ray vision.
Actually, I'm a horrible person and haven't done it yet. It's scheduled for when there's snow on the ground... that sticks.

This is a 599 maint schedule. The valve adjustment in there is incorrect, it's meant to be done at 24000km (according to the Honda bulletin on my dealers wall). Should gve you a decent idea of what needs to be done.
