[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1327591, member: 3828"] No, I wasn't being "snarky" at all. I really do fail to see why you (or anyone else) would have risked riding your prized bike for 75k miles without doing the (arguably most) important maintenance, specified at 26k mile intervals, of checking valve clearances. You obviously think more of the bike's engine than that since you use expensive synthetic oil on a regular basis, ostensibly to try and prolong it's life, which could all be wasted money if you lunch the valves due to inattention. (do you see the irony now?) Sure, plenty of owners are negligent with all sort of things. Check out the valve adjustment poll (that I started) if you want to know exactly how lucky those negligent guys have been, (including you). Yeah, the majority of engines don't need "adjustment" in those first or second checks. But some do. Call me "snarky" if it makes you feel better about yourself, but check those damn valves. An engine replacement isn't cheap. A valve check is a pittance in comparison. [/QUOTE]
