Kyle, I just changed my oil and filter on my 700SC the other day for the first time. - Run it so it is warm - Put it on the center stand - place a pan under it - Remove the oil dip stick on the left side - Remove the engine drain plug located on the right side of the bottom of the engine - Remove the frame drain plug which is located an inch or two behind the engine drain plug - Spin the oil filter off and turn it and remove it between the engine and pipes on the right side. - Admire your old oil - Put the new filter on - Put the frame plug back in - Put the engine drain plug back in - Add 3 quarts for an '84 or 3.5 quarts for an '85 or '86 - Put the oil dip stick back in - Wipe up any mess - Dispose of the old oil and filter - Go for a ride and feel how much better it runs <smile> It wasn't too bad unless I'm missing something.

Then I figured if I find it complicated do I really trust someone else to do it? -Kyle On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 1:19 PM, Dennis Hammerl <[email protected]> wrote: What's their labor rate / hour ? Must be off the charts. There is no way a service on a bike with no valve adjustments to do can be so expensive. Whole job on one of those should take an hour. CBR RR... maybe. --- On Fri, 6/19/09, Javier Garcia <[email protected]> wrote: From: Javier Garcia <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Service & Repairs in DC/MD/VA area To: [email protected] Date: Friday, June 19, 2009, 10:07 AM Hi, I'm looking for a place to do service to my '96 NH 750, my zip is 20910. I found a place and ask how much would be the full service and the guy told me $270, which I found quite expensive. I asked what that include and he said oil and filters, spark plugs replacement and adjustment of everything.... but I still don't see what else. You guys in the area do all these by yourself? any recommendation?
