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

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.

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.
