xs never needs valve adjustments i bought a yamaha xs with k miles over the last years i ve put k of commute miles onnit valve adjustment intervals are suppossed to be every k well every k or so i ve checked the pad clearences and they never change if anything the clearances seem to be getting a little smaller which makes no sense to me with the pad system the pads should wear until the clearances are too great right i know that threaded adjusters can tighten up but i didn t think these kind could bottom lines is that i haven t touched my valves for k on this bike and they are still nice and quiet and if anything the clearances are tighter what s the deal any other yam triple owners notice extremely long valve adjustment intervals
