    Another word of advice. Don't let them sell you the valve check service recommended at 14,000 miles. It will cost you $800 or so additional. The valve checks are mostly not needed. Dealers know this, and sometimes charge for doing the service even though they do not touch a wrench.

    I did the service at 14K on one and 28K on another. Neither needed any valve adjustments. I am not even considering it on my final two cylinder until at least 50K--if then.

    The newer 1330's do not require periodic valve check maintenance.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    I will have to disagree on the valve check. I just had mine done at 14,000 miles and 7 of the 8 valves were too tight. I know a few others that had the same situation. I guess it's up to you on if you want to roll the dice.
