I understand that the more valves which need adjustment the longer it will take.
How many miles on your S ?
40,000 miles. Valves were last checked / adjusted at 25,000. Might I be wasting time and money to have them checked now?
I'm surprised they needed adjustment at 25,000 miles.
There were two valves needing to be brought into spec. I thought that was pretty good.
On our K1300Ss we were charged 2.7 hours to check the valves, replace the plugs and change the coolant.
No adjustment was needed at 30,000 miles.

Lee, was that at a BMW dealer (flat rate for the work or actual time charged)???
I go to my dealer every Saturday to BS with friends. I will check what the estimate for valve check, coolant flush & plug change.
Had valves checked. I brought the bike in sans fairing. Nothing needed adjusting. One and a half hours labour including plug change. Seems about right considering they didn't have to deal with any bodywork.
Good idea to take the plastic off. I'll remember that.
