I have a feeling that my valves will never get checked ....

Valve checking intervals in practice appears to be quite long for many owners.

I haven't checked mine, I'm coming up on 120,000 miles now......

Similar to my can-am. Seems like they just don't tighten up all that quick.

DrewNJ, would be interested to know what year and model of Can-Am you own, mileage, any problems with yours and others??
Pics, please.

Mine has run 72.000km without a valve check. Still don't plan one. Up to 120.000 miles I have to ride a very long way without a check but will do so.

I know mine will never get checked while I'm the owner.

Mine were checked at 15,000 miles all in spec and now with 125,950 miles it still runs great! No plan to have them checked again.
