Valve Adjustment check?

[Speed King]

How many of you get your valves checked at 16,000 miles and find they need to be adjusted?

I'd be willing to bet they are all within spec.

i check them myself. mine were fine, but the peace of mind in knowing is better than wondering "what if"..

the manual walks you through the inspection process. it's pretty simple. anyone who is slightly mechanically inclined can perform a valve inspection. adjusting them however, is a different story! i can send you a copy of the suzuki manual if you're interested and want to try it yourself.

Didnt I read in the manual that they need to be checked every 4000 miles?

Thanks, I have the manual. I thought checking the valves would be almost as hard as adjusting them.

That has to be false.

I asked the stealership bout the valves being out of spec he said hes got a 07 and cked them and said no still in spec with 40,000 miles on the bike

I just had my 07 with 47,000 miles checked for the first time, the dealer said they were all perfectly in spec, right in the center of the tolerances and they didn't have to do a thing. They took my $250 and said thank you lol.

busas seem to go 50,000 miles or more before needing adjusting

Checking the valves is about 80 percent of the way to adjusting them.
