The short answer. I just moved to Arkansas. I currently live in an apartment complex and I am not allowed to do any vehicle maintenance on site. When I bought my bike I was offered a 3 year warranty plan for an extra $600. I decided to do that due to my living situation. That warranty includes a service every 4,000 miles that is free of charge. It also comes with one set of free replacement tires. Tires of my choice. I spoke with them today about that. I told them I want PR3s. We are guessing we will change them out at the 8,000 mile service. This is something specific to my dealer. They are called Sunrise Honda in Searcy, AR.
They cleaned & lubed the chain, lubed the cables, checked the brakes, adjusted the clutch and throttle free-play, checked the tightness of any fasteners utilized during dealer assembly, and changed the oil.

You can not complain about the pricing. Very good deal
That sounds like a great deal.

3 years mileage? I really wish that had been an option. Even if it was 16k miles or so I probably would've gone for it.
They actually suggested it to me. I had no idea it was on option. I told them I would be riding the bike at least 300 miles a week to work and back. That was only Monday thru Friday. That is when they suggested the plan. Seemed like a good deal so I paid the extra money. Also with that plan they gave me a "members card" that proves to the store that I bought the plan and I get 10% off everything from the parts department.

Lets see, clean & lubed the chain. Also installed a set of heated over grips and a Battery Tender pigtail.

I installed my Givi E-21 cases and the SW-Motech racks. Had a heck of a time getting the rear brace that connects the two sides together to fit properly. The bracket for the license plate is double thickness right where the rear brace goes. Seems ok for now, but will figure other options for that part over the next week or so. Once the whole system is together, it really is very rigid.
I finally installed my RAM Mount and Batter Tender 12V socket. I primarily use my bike to commute to work but I have taken it on three long rides where a GPS would have came in real handy. My Samsung Galaxy S4 can now be used to get me around.

Now just tie it all together with a helmet communications device and you are ready for the world.
That is on the list. The list that seems to keep growing. The wife tried to call me the other day when I was headed home. Needed something from the store. Of course I did not hear the phone ringing.

It's good to be back! Thank you. I missed you fine folks too.
I recently took my machine to the 'stealership' for its annual inspection. It passed, of course ;-)

Sergeant chuck im glad you posted those pics.i was wondering what the puig screen looked like from behind.i think it will be to tall for me.i am ording risers and handguards are on the way so i have to change shields.
The adjustment wheel for the clutch cable does hit the windscreen when locked fully to the right. The screen may lean back further than the Honda touring that was previously installed. I plan on buying rox risers soon and assumed I could adjust the handlebars away for the screen enough to get clearance. When you say tall are you referring to overall height? I am 5'9" and can easily see over it plus the wind still makes contact with the upper portion of my helmet. So to me it is almost not tall enough.

Maybe it was the angle then.i am 5'10.i also decided to go with rox. this way i can also pull them back.i like the bars on the ctx so this should be close to the same.

I guess technically the only thing I did was turn the key and pull a mileage number for yesterday. I blew a fork seal on my way home from Mono Lake yesterday, so Chupa is out of commission for a bit.
After I took the cage to work, my wonderful husband found a suspension shop in the area, loaded the NC into the truck and hauled her over. Gold valve emulators are on their way from Racetech and we should be back on the road in plenty of time for this weekend's Park 'n' Ride.
