My bike now has 15K miles on it, but I just haven't had time to inspect the vales yet (I do all my own maintenance). I'm pretty sure that the only time checking the valves while replacing the IACV will buy you is in the time to remove the gas tank.
Dave, you get to that point and let me know. I'm fly down to SD from Portland. Maybe you could put me up for a couple of nights (or tent space in the back yard). Let me observe your valve inspection / IACV replacement if that's what you opt for. I'll video and take photos along the way, and we'll make a heck of a maintenance "how to" for these forums.
I'm serious.
Or...if you don't get to this until next summer, I'll ride my bike there and we can do both at the same time.
