[QUOTE="yamatour, post: 946658, member: 27277"] Ok, I bought my 06 in a previously loved state, 24K on the odometer. I asked the shop to check the valves at 28, but my favorite SM spaced it out and it didn't get done, ok, we'll do it next time. The previous owner is a recognized expert in the field and had excellent records of all shop and self maintenance done, he didn't to the valve check... So I get around to it after the Florida Mountain 1000, out and back from San Antonio...34K on the clock now. I get an oil change, inspection sticker, and valve check; in spec and we also drain the coolant so that is done. $425 and I am out the door. I think I will get the next one about 55K. My riding technique is not aggressive, but I do roll right along on the super-slab. I am trying to get the most out of the tires, mileage etc, just to train for bigger rallies where efficiency probably counts more than we think. FNG IBA 50133 [/QUOTE]
