I too phoned around for a price for the 24,000K service. Joondalup Honda couldn't even be bothered to give me a price. However, a bloke in Ozzy Park on Main St gave me a reasonable price, but it ended up a little more (as they do) and the end result was $464.00.
I have checked the Honda Schedules, and up to now I have had dealers do my services, but it appears that they all have different things they decide to do. Usually oil and filter. I have read schedules where coolant and brake & clutch fluids to be changed, but not done, and they always spin a yarn as to why.
So, from now on, I do my own services (stuff em, and their rip offs). I don't follow the Honda 4K or 8K, or the dealer 6 or 6.5K intervals. Stuff em all (again), I have decided to do all my services at 10,000Klm, and do em properly with TLC. I was even real naughty and let it go from 24K (actually 28K) to 40K, and guess what, ALL the fluids were finally changed. Even flushed the clutch and brake systems (ABS) without a glitch at all. I was most amazed at the condition of the plugs. from replacement at 28K to 40K they looked like they were straight out of the box, never seen a plug so clean before, not a hint of carbon, and that is after running on 91 Octane (not 95). The power seems to be the same and my economy running around Perth remains at between 19 and 20 Klms to the litre.
We have plenty of help around the club, so if you are half mechanically minded, service your own bike. If you do half the requirements, it will be most likely more than what some Honda dealers will do.
cheers,
