This is a service I'd been looking forward to doing for a good few weeks and today was the day that it finally turned up at the shop. Nic's Honda SH300i had gotten to its first 1000k's and needed a service. I got the scooter up on the bench and went to work on doing the usual oil and filter change plus a check over of all the scooters moving parts and checked the fluid levels. The way the SH300i comes apart is fantastic and typical of the quality of build you find in a Honda. To gain access to the service items as required by the Honda service schedule required very little removel of bodywork. The only issue Nic's had so far with his scooter is the ignition key breaking in the lock of the top box. To open the top box lid you have to use the key as a lever in the lock and this had lead to the head of the key snapping off. But in true Honda MPE fashion this issue was covered under warranty and a new key was supplied free of charge. The only thing I had to do was code the key to the scooters ECU with the use of my Honda key coding device. This is a pretty simple process and I did it as part of the service. Once done it was time for a test ride. The SH300i has to be one of the best scooters on the market. The handling is great, the power delivery is fantastic and the quality of the build of the scooter is second to none. These really are one nice scooter.
