I am happy to read what I have suspected for years; that low stressed Honda engines with shim under bucket valves rarely need adjustment. The lack of hydraulic valves has been my biggest complaint regarding the CB. From everything I have read, I will wait to check them when I change the oil at 15K.
There is definitely something good to be said about being able to change the motor oil, adjust the valves, clean up mess, wash my hands and enjoy a cold beer in less than 90 minutes on my R1200GS.
