| papajohns,
I don't think you would need the valve adjustment unless you have experienced a decrease in mpg's or it running differently. Maybe just have them check them instead of adjusting them. I hear it is about a $400 job but not really sure. I change my belt now at about 16,000 miles, except for the first time when I changed to the Kevlar belt, since I would hate for it to break and get me in a bind.
Has anyone on this site adjusted your valves yet? And did you notice a performance difference before and after? _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| The only problem I've had is managing enough riding time, and I can't blame the scoot for that.  Craig |
