I know that we all read that we should have the valves checked at 16,000 miles, but I am wondering who has actually had to have the shims replaced to bring the specs back to stock?
Having read most of the posts on this and the other Silverwing site, I think very few folks ever really needed the valves adjusted.
My bike just turned over 16,000 miles and runs like a champ. Starts instantly and never misses a beat. I have no intention of getting the valves checked - I am concerned that a mechanic might goof something up putting it back together, and can't see any possible improvement.
Please let us know your experience.
Thanks,
Philip
