Just wondering what the interval is for checking valve clearances on a modern sportbike.
On my old kz i guess it is 6,000 miles :o
I have never had a manual of any sort for my bikes so I checked online. That seems like a really short interval. That is almost twice a summer for me.

On cars it is a much bigger number so I am just wondering if I got some misinformation.
Anyone know what SCM charges for something like this?

normally its around 16-18k until your first valve check is done on a modern day sportbike. That would suck every 6000 miles lol

no plastic shit in the way. plus they are shim over bucket so pretty easy to change.
