Hello everyone, my partner, some time ago had an official Honda form with the necessary hours, established by Honda, for various interventions on motorcycles, for example disassembly / assembly of rear wheel 3 hours, oil and filter change 1 hour. he had them for the Honda 750 four, for the GL 1000 and for the CX 500 Turbo, they were tables that the Honda dealership workshops applied to the customer for the various jobs. Yesterday we talked about it in a chat, but he can no longer find that data. does anyone know anything about it?
Thank you in advance.
P.S: the tables he had were written in Italian, but we don't believe it was an initiative of Honda Italia.

I have heard of those and know that they do exist but I do not think I have ever seen them.

They were called "flat rate" tables in the US, and were published by manufacturers so that the cost estimate to repair would not greatly differ from the actual cost. And for management to estimate how many jobs the mechanic should be able to get through.

Flat rate manuals are common use here in the US, for both cars and motorcycles. Most dealerships will use them.
FWIW, back in my day; a mechanic on flat rate at a busy dealership could make a very good living making 50% of the flat rate.

I found the flat time (FRT) in the spare parts manual
