Valves will tighten up , not loosen up on these bikes as miles go on (typically unless theres a mechnical failure). an early indicator of this is loss of compression on one (or more) cylinder. a down and dirty check is a warm engine compression check on all 4 cyls. if one is lower than the others beyond the allowable range, (20-30 psi i would guess) good bet that cyl needs a valve/shim adjustment. (if all else is ok). .02Good info. Thanks for sharing.
