hey dude dont wanna hijack your thread but you have a VFR and a CB?
This isn't my thread, and I don't want to hijack it either, but I own a VFR800 and a CB1100. My VFR valves didn't go out of adjustment until 50k miles (I checked them at 16k and 32k and they were in spec).
Yes I do Dave, love them both. They are different and yet the same.
I know you know what I mean. I bought my VFR last April with 51k miles on it, it's an 05, I now have 68k miles on it. A super machine. Been to CO, UT, NM and states in between last summer. The CB took me to FL last spring and a run through NC, TN, Va, WV, KY late spring. The VFR PO said he'd checked the valves around 40k, but---------------- if yours were out I may check mine this fall.

Yes, have both and they both have their niche. Where are you at in NC? Couple of good friends in Lincolnton ride with me. Did you make it to the Easy Rider show on Sat? I went cause the online mag I write for got me a free ticket, the mag is "The Carolina Rider" based in Charolette. Look them up and sign up for the weekly email mag.

Just had the ST in for service and had valves checked while in there 54,000 miles and still in spec.

Ferret, 2 ex were loose and 1 in loose and 1 in tight. Going to keep a close watch on this. Tech gave me his worksheet and we're going to compare with what comes up at 24Kmiles
