I have an 03 Vl 800. The old girl has a little over 30 000 kms on her. I'm not sure when the last time the valves were looked at yet alone adjusted. Are there any cues I should be looking, or listening for? Also, if I get my local shop to do this for me, how much should this service cost, give or take?
One more question (for now), how many miles (km's) can a person reasonably expect to put on an engine like this, if it's well maintained, before he should be considering a rebuild?
B.
P.S If there is anybody up around Cranbrook B.C that knows how to adjust the valves, would like to have them look over my shoulder to keep me on the right path as i did it myself. I'll bring the beer.......
