Confused

I'm confused about the 600 mile service they said they had to adjust the valves after breaking the motor in. Doesn't the rotax have hydraulic lifters I've had several new vehicles and have never adjusted valves except on solid lifter motors?

The Rotax does not have hydraulic lifters. The valves do need to be adjusted periodically. Not at 600 miles, though? The old schedule was at 6,000 then every 12,000, but that has recently been delayed and extended to 18,000 (?) miles.

Another hint. The valve adjustment adds about $600 to your service bill. I hope you do not have a dealer that is trying to take advantage of you.
