Hi All, I have recently been quoted $150 - $160 for a small service on a 750 shadow. Does that sound like a fair price?

For a minor service done at a bike shop that sounds reasonable, you could buy the oil change kit from Honda for 65 bucks and do it your self or even cheaper to buy the oil and filter from repco. Cheers Azza

If it,s just oil and general check over ,would be cheaper to do it all yourself . Just had one done on my 750 ,but was coolant ,plugs ,valve&tappet check ,all oils ,brake fliud and general check . Cost 450 smackers . Be doing it myself next time ,parts were only $85 .Rest labour. Though the tappets are out of my league . They did qoute over 500 but said they,d look after me seeing as i go their all the time . Cheers Ray

A good price, costs me about that every 6000 kms. I take mine to the pros for the extra service you get. I got my rear brakes adjusted, battery tested, front brake fluid changed, clutch cable adjusted, chain tightened, etc, all these thing I didn't know needed doing. I picked his brain too, learnt so much about the Shadow. If your not confident, use a professional, at least for the first service anyway. :-) Chrisso
