Title: 07 S2R1000 w/ 400 miles... is valve check necessary?
Post by: gr1976 on February 10, 2011, 06:29:51 PM

I recently purchased this bike and am going to change the belts because of the age.

While I am at it, should I check the valves or is it a waste of time. Also, I'm assuming the clearances in the service manual are for a cold engine. Am I correct?

Thanks

I wouldn't bother checking the valves if it has only 400 miles.

I'm sure they are checked cold.

Dont bother checking the valves. they will change when everything breaks in. Just do the belts and move on.
