Valve check / Mileage poll...

[Golden]

How many of you have had a valve check and if so at what mileage...

 

[Golden]

I have 52k on my busa and never had valves checked..... My busa still runs good..

 

[StrtRac3r]

33k no check

 

[880jedi]

Checked at 12K, all good. Checked again at 100K, all good. I sense a pattern here.

 

[Westbusa]

54,000 no shop work at all...runs great

 

[BusaWhipped]

Checked 4 times. every 15,000 miles or so. Still in spec.

 

[bigjack7679]

Checked at 22k. In spec.

 

[mysql]

did mine at 19k. No clearance issues.

 

[sixpack577]

did mine at 19k. No clearance issues.

Taking the forks off also makes it much easier to get to them.

56K, not yet, running great, but I've been thinking about it.

Interesting I'm at 12000 miles on my 06 and have been sweating this inspection for awhile it seems for nothing I'm wondering if maybe it depends on how hard you push your machine or is it perhaps better design over the years mainly better lubrication in key areas of the valve train?

it's likely ok, but you can never tell without checking.

All you folks are making me feel much better. Mine's just past the 14,500 mark that the book recommends for the first check and I was hoping to wait until winter to do it. I can breath a sigh of relief. My old Honda 900F needed frequent checks and the clearance changed a lot for the first 20,000 miles.
These Busa's are designed and built well.

 

[IBENI]

92,000 kms checked and all nicely within spec

 

[PaceMaster]

Checked them twice.....17K and 32K... were in spec still... now 57K.....I should check them....I might...still runs killer and sounds great.
Been gone awhile from here....fun to be back !
