8000 Mile Valve Adjustment requirement
#18

Just ride it." Valves go out of spec by redlining it. Having said that, a VFR was run flat out for 24 hours by a test team and was still as new after that when they took it apart. I had the valves "checked" ha ha, which means they started it and it didn't stall and then they wound up the motor near redline and it didn't miss a beat. It does one or the other when out of spec. Or it is obviously noisy.

Just be sure to let us know where to write in order to obtain our "nhawk7504 warranty vouchers"! Big Grin
