Hello --
I'm new to the sport of motorcycling in general and I'm located in the Minneapolis MN area. I've just purchased my first bike, new 2004 SV650S.
Question on break-in maintenance -- for the maintenance interval around 600-700 miles -- should the valves clearance be adjusted for the break-in maintenance period -- or is simple oil change and giving a "once over" of the entire bike sufficient?
I'm aware that valves will certainly need maintenance when I put more miles on the bike -- around 10,000 and then around 25,000. Or something like that. But I'm presently trying to justify the "break-in maintenance" charges that the dealership is trying to throw at me, and wondering if valves need adjustment this early or not.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated -- either here on the board or email me at [email protected].
Thanks alot!
