[QUOTE="Spud, post: 1388067, member: 17601"] Didn't do my first check until 45K, went through all good, 2nd to last one I checked was on the edge tight, last one was out of spec. Went from a relatively simple but time consuming job to something I wouldn't have done without my brother-in-law who is a whiz at all things mechanical. Got it in spec and now I think I probably need to check it again soon but bike sure runs good right now at 93K. One bit of advice I saw here was that replacing the valve cover gasket isn't necessary, my brother-in-law decided it should be done as I had a spare, at the end of it all we both agreed we should have kept the stock one as they glue that baby in there pretty good and getting the new one to seat turned out to be one of the harder parts of the job.
