[QUOTE="Mr. BR, post: 1283074, member: 28246"] Agreed...it's an infrequent, but important part of the maintenance schedule.. and never trivial. When I got my '05 two years ago, it came with some service history but nothing to confirm any valve check... so I did it at ~48K miles and it needed 1 exh and 1 int shim changed... both a little loose. And the dirt! Mine had tons of road grime, pebbles and dirt around coolant pipes and that plastic shield just in front of the valve cover. The rest of the bike was also dirty and the PO admitted he had never washed it once during his several years of ownership.. fortunately, the bike gave him no trouble and this continues for my daily commuting needs... solid!
