Valve Adjustment?

[Κανελλόπουλος]

I was told a while ago that I needed a valve adjustment but then someone else told me I really shouldn't need one. My bike has 7k miles on it. Are there any signs that I should look for that would tell me if I need an adjustment? Thanks.

I don't know what your intervals are but look at the manual to see when you need your valve clearance checked. You may or may not need adjustment, but feeler gauges are by far the best way to know.

i thought i needed a valve adjustment on my 2002 r6 with 13,500 miles, but when i called the dealer, they said you don't need to adjust the valves till 25,000 miles.....my .02

Checking them is easy piece of mind, changing shims out is where the extra time hits.

I had it looked over and all is well. :hump: New tires tomorrow and I can finally get back to the weekend rides!

I only have this reference, but it looks like 15000 mi. Peace of mind is sometimes well worth it. http://www.aperaceparts.com/tech/05gsxr600.html
