[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1437701, member: 19880"] This was just the second valve check for this bike. Original owner did it at 42,000 km (26,000 mi). I bought it with something like 58,000 km and didn't get around to the valve check until 130,000 km (~81,000 mi). Only one intake was below spec (by 0.03 mm) but the rest were pretty close at 0.15 to 0.16 or so - maybe one at 0.17mm. With them all now at 0.18 to 0.21, I probably won't look at them again until 200,000 km unless I am into the engine for something else. I'll have to remember to change the plugs before then! I have a bunch more stuff to do on the bike but decided to wait a little while. Maybe find a Tech Day somewhere if the borders open up. Sometimes nice to do stuff in the company of others - especially for stuff that has the potential to go badly (i.e. forks). [/QUOTE]
