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****************************************!!

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

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.
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!
