10k miles Valve Check (Yea or Nea)?
Ok guys I have finally hit the 10,000 mile mark on my bike.
I have never ridden a bike on the streets this much. Usually I just race my bikes.
With that said I have raced the shyt out of it since day one. I love how durable this thing is but am wondering if I should go ahead and open it up to check and see if any shims are needed? No strange sounds coming from up top.
The bike has never been sprayed and I dont bang the limiter with missed shifts.
And when I look at how fast some other guys are going on there bikes I sometimes think shyt I aint even coming close to hurting this thing.
BTW,
I am gong to put some new plugs in, change the oil, new chain, and brakes
I really dont want to open it up unitl I am ready to increase the HP.

Correct and at 23,000 still no change from factory on mine. If you haven't been running hot, Don't worry. 10K racing? WOW! Knew the 14 was exceptional but it just gets better.

I run mine pretty good and I'm at 10.5k. I'm not worried about the engine as much as the transmission. Do you guys ever use the clutch? I always do riding around town, but never do when I'm wot. I could count the amount of missed shifts on one hand though......

My neighbor just had a local Race Shop check his valves with 19,000 miles on his 06.

Yes, do it all. You are 5K away. I am 10K away and I'm ah na gonna check mine at about 5K is a totally different way to measure. I'll have a video with my little buddy helping me take the valve cover off ah shit. I'll keep him so hidden in the dark so you have that signature is shake my hand while you're at it.
Who said I was going to use the dildo.
