[QUOTE="blassoff, post: 1398014, member: 18977"] You just received a lot of solid advise. Me...I waited until 44,000 miles on my 05 before I did the first valve check. I had two exhaust valves that were out of spec, all else was grand. I took it to a local independant. I removed all the plastic for him, supplied a new valve cover gasket and a shim kit. He charged me $330 for the valve check and shim replacement. At $1300 your local bike shop is doing you no favors. If you're at all handy you can do the valve check, I gave mine to a professional for the shim change. No freaking way I was pulling the cams and tying up the timing chain, although I did manage to replace the CCT on my own. That was some fun..NOT. Good luck. Listen to these guys, the advise is worth a hellova lot more than it costs. [/QUOTE]
