Warranty System Explained

Honda’s warranty operates differently than most car warranties:

Free Service Coupons (FSC):

• Commuter Bikes: Three coupons for the first year
  • First service: 500-2,000km or 3 months
  • Second service: 2,001-6,000km or 7 months
  • Third service: 6,001-12,000km or 12 months
  • IMPORTANT: These only cover labor costs. You still pay for parts and oil.
• Big Bikes: Five service coupons
  • Coverage up to 25,000km
  • Includes both labor AND selected parts/oil

Standard Manufacturer Warranty:

• Terms are not clearly published on the Honda Philippines website
• Critical step: Get written confirmation of warranty duration and coverage before purchase
• Typically covers manufacturing defects, not normal wear and tear
• Using non-genuine parts or unauthorized service centers can void this warranty

Maintenance Services

Honda’s service centers provide:

• Routine maintenance as per the schedule in your owner’s manual
• Trained technicians who participate in annual Honda Mechanic Skill Olympics
• Access to Honda’s diagnostic tools and technical updates
• Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS) at intervals specified in your manual

Expected Maintenance Costs:

• ₱5,000-10,000 annually for smaller bikes
• ₱10,000-20,000+ for bigger models
• Some dealers offer promotional service packages at fixed prices (like Motortrade’s CVT Cleaning for ₱300)

Parts Availability and Support

Honda emphasizes using Genuine Parts available through:

• All authorized dealerships
• Honda’s parts catalogue system (Motopub portal)
• Online marketplaces (Shopee/Lazada) with various seller options
• Specialized retailers like Tenplus.ph

Be Aware: While parts for common models are typically readily available, less common models may experience delays, particularly after accidents requiring multiple replacement parts.

Five Smart Buyer Moves

1. Get warranty terms in writing—don’t rely on verbal promises
2. Budget for total ownership costs, not just the purchase price
3. Stick to the maintenance schedule like your life depends on it (it might)
4. Calculate the full financing cost, including interest and fees
5. Consider authorized service for maintaining warranty protection

Honda motorcycles offer reliable transportation in a congested urban environment, but require informed purchasing decisions and consistent maintenance for optimal value.
