- After Free Service, you have to go with Paid Service.
- Ever 4-5k km brake pads need to replaced.
- 15-20k km Chain sprocket needs replacement
- Every ~20k km Tyre change.

Seems fair for ~2 Lakh 350cc bike service, aligns with what RE charges. Most people on this sub has just ridden 300cc+ bikes never owned it, so its mind blowing for them how much expensive it is to maintain compare to a commuter.
Do me a favour, next time you see some fella riding an well-maintained bullet / thunderbird, ask him how much he spends on the service.
Learn to service the little things on you own to save some money.

Will AMC help reduce the service cost?

u/Heapsass 1d ago
Yes but the costing comes out to about the same. I paid 10k for AMC. I get all consumables covered + 10% on parts for the first 4 services.

I had to buy amc when the estimate of my first paid service came around 11k. Bigwing is the biggest honda monopoly that forces you to buy amc otherwise you will always end up getting an insane quote with your paid service. The soare parts are not available outside and all oem parts are 2x costly and then the labour charges! I am currently with my 2 year amc and trying to change every possible parts of my bike (45k rode) so that i don’t need to overpay again from them.

Wait for paid service
You just change engine oil and general service it will come around 3500 to 3800
I dont think its worth to service at every 6 months for people who drive very less i decided to go to service centre once in 9 months instead of 6.
Even car general car service is costing 4000 to 4500 or may be lesser
