So, I’m coming up on 8k on my 2013. I really would like to check the valves this spring, but do NOT want to pay to have it done. I don’t really have any experience with taking apart a motor/disassembling a bike to this extent. What I DO have is: a service manual, the internet (YouTube and y’all), and a very mechanically competent father. I haven’t asked him about this yet, but I’m pretty sure he’s done similar work on his bikes before, and is very skilled at turning a wrench and has an entire shop full of tools. Given that context, how would you rate this sort of procedure in difficulty for the two of us? (This question is for anyone kind enough to answer).
