[QUOTE="GPRIDER, post: 1463694, member: 857"] Thanks for all the input. I have 32,327 miles on my 2016. Still under warranty till May. This is my 4th FJR. The first valve check on my other 3 did not need any adjustments at 30,000 miles. And yes Dan, Ive been on the forum long enought to know of the valve train stability. :) It's one of the reasons I've stayed with the FJR for 20 years. It's just a great bike. I watched a video of a guy doing a check on his FJR. I could do it, but I'd rather be out riding one of my bikes than spend that kind of time doing it myself. Unless I had someone that was versed in doing valve checks and adjustments to help me. I've done a valve adjustment on my Vmax before. Took a while to do it, but I was taking my time as it was the first time I'd done a check/adjustment. Adjustment is a little easier on the Max because you dont have to take the cams off to replace the shims. I could just keep riding it and I'm guessing it would be ok for another 30,000 miles.
