Posting this for info and comments:
Bike is 2014 R1200RT, just got back from a longish (5,400mile) ride so running a bit late with the 24,000 mile service. Now done just over 26,000. I have done all servicing myself except the initial and 6,000 miles...
Exhaust valves are all still in spec (0.37 > 0.39) an increase of around 0.02 on the 12,000 mile numbers.
The inlet valves are all at or just above the top end (0.17 >0.18), up about 0.04 on average over the clearances at 12,000
Just wondering if anybody else has any experience with this, it seems the inlet wear a bit faster than the exhaust? I gather that shims are available in 0.02 thickness increments. I guess I will aim to get them all near the low end of the spec.
