    How many miles are you guys going before checking your valves? And, at what interval should they be checked? I only have about 250 miles on my 2011 310. Love the bike. It is no 450 thumper but I sure don't mind picking it up when I rarely fall over or crash !!

    I adjusted mine (George adjusted mine at 500mi.) one of the valves needed to be adjusted...

    At 800 I had dealer check prior to warranty ending. No changes. At 1,000 asked them to do it again since was having starting issues since the day I brought her home, and Tinken suggested during my PU it could be the cause. Made a deal with the shop that if I was right regarding the exhaust valve shim in question I would pay half the service cost and for only the shims not related (intakes). Intakes both adjusted as they tightened up and the offending exhaust was slightly loose. Fixed the starting issue, got my discount and all is still well 1,000+ miles later.

    500 miles and one was slightly out of specs. I had to put in a different sized shim. Easy job but tank is a PITA to remove and put on with tight fuel connections.

    Adjusted my 2010 TE250 once when it was 1 month old and loosened one tight ex valve. Should not have even touched it.
    Ended putting the shim back when I had starting problems 6 months later and also loosened one Intake valve. It has not moved in 3 yrs since.

    Just checked them.

    My 2010 TE250 intake valves wore out, I shimmed them and they pulled through more in 1 or 2 rides. Zip Ty custom made good old stainless steel intake valves for me, way cheaper than husky titanium, and they haven't budged!
