Just reading about the manuals recommendation that a valve adjustment is recommended/required at 26,000 miles.
I have searched and read many forum posts, but really am at a loss as to wether this is really required for the everyday easy going rider.
Yamaha makes an amazing product and the engineering that goes into a machine to be above reproach.
What indicators are there that this needs to be done? From what I see, the ones who have done it only have slight issues with maybe a few shims.
I know when I owned my KLR, there was a huge requirement, from owners to do the do-hickey mod.
IN reality, I never did and my bike ran awesome.
I just am not convinced to spend that kind of money if I don't really have to.
Please don't get me wrong, I will if it needs it, just trying to understand recommend vs requires.
