Question: At what mileage did you do FIRST valve adjustment?

500-1,000 miles
1,000-1,500 miles
1,500-2,500 miles
2,500-5,000 miles
I'm past 5,000 and never adjusted valves

Just curious about the mileage that others adjusted valves for the first time (or paid someone to do it) and if you thought the adjustment was really needed when it was done. Thanks.

Thumper got the first valve adjustment at 80,000.. when I changed the cam chain.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Mad Hamish is at 23,000.  I'll adjust the valves when I fix the plug cap leak.. some day.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

I'm at the 10k mark with mine. I'm looking at .0045-.005
I left it alone and bolted the cover back on.
