At what interval is a valve adjustment required ? Is this a D.I.Y. or best left to the dealer ? What is the approx. cost ? Ideas ?
BMW calls for 18,000.
I waited until around 30,000 miles before we had the valves checked on our K1300Ss.
The shop charged me 2.7 hours labor to check valves, change spark plugs and coolant.
Coolant needs to be refilled under vacuum.
Sounds like all they did was check the valve adj. ? Sounds like they never did any shim replacement ? Prolly was in spec. ? I was looking at how much to perform an actual adjustment ….
I understand you only adjust them when they are out of spec. I get it logical . I was just curious as to how often and how far out of spec they may go ? Thanks Lee
Lol yes Lee snowed in serious case of cabin fever ….
We both get antsy if it rains more than a day or two.
Although we rarely get snow where I live these days, I feel REALLY BADLY for you if you have to endure 2 straight days of rain.
Here's what it looks like looking north from my place. .
