Waste of money doing valves before 24,000km?

[Iggy76]

I have check valves on tons of bikes and adjusted more than a few... I have not found a corelation between riding style and valve adjustments yet. Are your valve clearances out of spec? Probably not. Is it worth checking? Yes it is. The cost of doing the job now is signicantly less than if you burn a valve or something silly because you ignored the factory suggested maintenance schedule that cost millions of dollars in man hours were required to create through time spent engineering, testing, and then re-engineering.

In your case OP: you want to replace the plugs anyway... might as well spend the extra time/money to do it right.

This is what I am finding. A lot of valves need adjustment at that 20-30K mark. Then fewer at 40-60k mark.

I don't see stuff that's still on the street after 60k...but my bikes at 80K were almost all good on tolerences - a few valves might have been towards their limits - but still in the acceptable range. \\

Doing valves on new stuff - half the bike comes apart - so might as well do plugs / coolant flush / air filter and oil change while it is all part,

Thanks for the insight. The spark plugs/air filter I believe are included in a valve check/adjustment if I get Speedworx to do it. Oil I just did last week and the coolant I did at the start of the season.

I need to learn to remove my tires lol
