I check and make slight valve adjustments to one or two of my values every 6-8k on my R1200GSA. Got to get them set exactly where I want them (e.g. they are usually in spec, but shifted just a tad). It only takes 15 minutes to check and set them and its pretty simple. The new water-cooled GS's use a shims and bucket setup which needs less adjustments... but is even easier with only 2 screws on each head cover. Use all the left over time to drink Kool-Aid favored beverages.

Some are easy, some not so much. Time really isn't a big deal! If I don't feel like doing it I can wait until tomorrow.....'cause I've got that day off!

After you get the dishes washed, laundry done, and the house cleaned right?
