Hayabusa 6k service. Does it matter if I'm a bit late?

**Stylo** · 19th July 2010, 18:59

Doing a trip to Auck and North from Canterbury soon within aonly 5 days and it looks like sometime in the middle of my 2000km trip I'll be hitting 6000 on the odo, which is when the service is required . Won't have time to get my '09 Busa serviced anywhere enroute as we probably won't have time.

Probably hitting around 7,000 k's + when I get back home and can roll it in for the service , any problems with being a little over the service interval ? Tips ?

Change your oil and filter before you leave.

Check with your dealer to clarify whether running over will void your warranty, if that's what's worrying you.

Yep, check with your dealer first...warranty and all that. I went over by 400 odd k and that was no problem...enjoy the ride!

Mate, you've clearly fucked it. I'll take it off your hands in return for a small consideration.

Hitcher, I'll do the paperwork in the morning to arranger the transfer if you can organise the bank details mate !. Seriously I've just checked the BT-015 on the back and I may have to look at some new rubber before I leave. 3200kms only and it's already looking a bit sorry.....this trips gonna cost me a little more than I've planned

Won't be another BT-015 though .......

I'd probably service before hand if possible, what with it being the early kilometres of the bike. I'd make a slightly bigger consideration than ol hitch

An 09 model, and hasn't had its first full service yet? Service it before you go. It won't cost any more or less by servicing before rather than after.

I think it's had it's first major service already. It is at 5,000kms now.

Get a Speed Triple - 10,000km service intervals.

Seriously, I'd get it done first since I'm assuming the bike is under warranty. This covers any issues. I'd probably personally change the oil & filter anyway if close to the recommended change interval before a 2,000km trip.

Oh dear. If you go over without servicing it, you will be struck down as you ride - yea even as you ride through the valley of death! The skies will darken, the mountains will be split asunder and fire will rain down upon thee from the firmament!!
Repent of your evil ways ere the lightning burns thine arse off!

oh..err...oops! Ahh hehehe... sorry, wrong forum...

I'd do it before I left, meself...
