36k since my last valve adjustment
Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 10:22 am
I let the valves on my first KLR, an A1, go a little too long. At 40k
miles the thing would barely start because they'd gotten so tight. I'd
checked them regularly for awhile with no change, then went a bit too
far by extending the interval another 10-12k miles.
