Debatable. Some owners and dealers skip the valve adjustment if the bike is showing no signs of it needing to be done. i.e., it is running just fine.

Do you change your oil by time or mileage. I saw that the first 600 mile or 1 month. I don't think I would be able to drive 600 miles in a month so what do your reccomend. To go by time or miles

When we brought both of our bikes in for their 600 mile service they seemed to being running fine, but the mechanics had to adjust the valves on both. Yes, they seemed to be running fine before the adjustments, but they ran better after the adjustments.

In the manual it says to change the first oil at 600miles or 1month. Will my warranty be voided if i stick with the mile instead of time. I'm sure that I will not be able to drive 600 miles in a month.

It says the 600 OR one month, one month is obviously OK with Honda If you can't go 600. Its which one occurs first......

I personnal never go for an old one...
BUT, 2015 is only one year of age, provided this old bike did not suffer from any accident, crash, this would be a good choice... very good choice I would emphasise...
