I guess as far as valves go on the the drifters we are pretty lucky. Still wouldn't be a bad idea to crack the valve covers off and see what I'm working with.

- February 09, 2018, 10:44:18 AM When I bought Red I brought her home and she had something like 24858 km on the clock and so I decided to start from 0 and did the complete service manual check for 24000 km in the book, and did everything and all the checks.
I am doing the same for Pearl this winter. So that being said, I also am very strict on valve checks on Red as I put a lot of highway and distance rides on her over the summers. I also have like 7 months of down time due to the snow. So to do yearly valve checks not a big deal I have the time. But I follow the manual for all the servicing, so far touch wood I have had nothing major to do, just checks and oil changes.
