According to the maintenance schedule on my 2008, the valve clearance is suspose to be inspected at 14,500 miles. I've now got almost 18,000 miles on her and haven't done it yet. Sooo--my question is-- how important is it to have this done? She seems to be running fine. I have neither the time or the expertise to do this, so I'll have to take it to the dealer. Should I take her in and have it done? Thanks for the advise!
 
Accordind to gen1 in this site,few bikes needed adjustment at 14500miles.The owners manual says "check".Most of declarations are for adjustments round 30-35000 miles.For me.... main reason to adjust them are "operating hours" than mphs,and of course the use manner
 
Thanks for the info. Seems to me that 14,500 miles is pretty low for a valve clearance check????
 
You should have them checked ever 15,000 miles to make sure everything is healthy. Doubtful you need to have them adjusted before 50,000 miles.
