BMW, I believe, says 12k for checking the valves. I do a check every oil change (6k) while the oil is draining out of the bike because I get bored and opening up the heads is fun and doesn't take very long. I don't adjust them every time. If they are close to spec I will usually just leave them alone.

Are they threaded stems and set nuts?

I picked up my FZ last Labor day weekend with just under 17k on it and it's now at...21,5ish. I haven't really done much riding lately. I was busy with school when the weather was nice and now it's so freakin hot most days, I've only done a couple 100 miles trips the last 2 weeks. After the 7th I probably won't take a pleasure ride for 5 weeks, that's my summer quarter and they're cramming 10 week courses into it. It's gonna be the suck!

I've rode less than 250 miles this year. No desire to ride. I bet I don't even get 1k this year.

Gas ain't coming. He never has more than 15 or 20 minutes away from work.
