Valve Adjustment at 28,000 miles on my RT-S

[ARtraveler]

I had the 28,000 mile valve inspection/adjustment today, along with other regular maintainence service.

The valves were all in spec and did not require any adjustments or shims. The dealer cut me a break on the labor and only charged me 3 hours ($330.00 for the labor), since they did not have to dismantle everything.

Not sure what I will do when 42,000 miles comes up. That's a couple more riding seasons in the future and a lot can change between now and then.

Thanks for the info! With 21,850 Miles on my 09GS I,m not concerned at this point - But will watch for signs of rough idling !

Was this your first valve check?

Yes, this was my first valve check on this machine.
