Bought a used CB1100 - valve adjustment question
#5

New guy here first posting - I got a used 2014 CB1100 recently with 16,400mi. Bought from a dealer who said it was a trade-in. They said that they did not know if the 16000mi valve adjustment had been done by the previous owner or not. Question, is this something I need to have done immediately?
Please advise, Thanks
I can tell you that the bike is running great

Can only write what I did concerning the valve inspection. Nothing til yet, which means til 46.000km.
There will be ones who will shake their heads in disbelieve and also ones who did the same.

Ferret once wrote, if the bike is running well, has a stabil and normal idle, an averagely similar fuel consumption and starts well, there's is no need to worry. I don't. All this can mean nothing, who knows and the engine will maybe burn its exhaust valves. But I don't think so having read a lot of checked valve reports. Sometimes in the future I will have them checked...
