No disrespect intended but if you never did anything beyond an oil change, you most likely neglected your Honda.
Do a bit of a search here and the internet and you'll probably find a schedule for your machine.
If not, visit a local dealer and ask them to print you a copy of the schedule...most will do this without problem.
Good luck!
I built it from the frame up so a lot of stuff got done then. But it was pretty much maintenance free for the most part. Bearings were replaced, clutch didn't need adjusting, no belt or chain so nothing there. I didn't count tire changes.
Like has already been mentioned, there's more than just oil/filter changes required to keeping your Harley not only running good BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY safe to ride. Here's on example. During the last maintenance on my softail, i found several of the front rotor screws were loose. Can you imagine what would happen if that rotor broke free going down the road? With a factory service manual and a simple set of tools you can perform most of the service requirements.
I do my own maintanance. I like to tinker on my bike. The service manual, and this site, will get you most of what you will need to know.
SEDOUGLAS, what bike do you have? Tell us about it. Post it in your signature for all to see.
I have an '07 FLHRS quite a few mods came on it, I'm still trying to figure out what kind of wheels they are. I put it in my sig, hopefully it works. Thanks for the advice, it looks like a service manual is in my future.
I guess the sig pic won't work. I had it resized correctly. there are pics in my garage until I get it working.
