The first service on the valves is EXTREMELY important, whether it's done at 600 miles or 1000 miles. Valves, especially exhaust valves (because they run hotter) tend to "tighten-up" (lose their clearance) in the first 1000 or so miles. Given the old adage that a loose valve will never burn, just click, and a tight valve will burn pretty quickly, I'd have them checked. As long as they're in there, you might even ask them to set them about a thou on the loose side; over the next few thousand miles, they'll eat up the little extra clearance. Once they're fully "seated", they'll maintain the correct clearance for many thousands of miles.I am dropping my bike off tomorrow to get its first service done. The service guy said it would be $110 which seems to be a good price from what others have paid on here. He said they usually will check the valves by listening to the engine run then if something is abnormal then they will go in. He said they rarely find anything wrong. To have the do it for sure it would be an additional $80. This is a price I am more than happy to pay if its the right thing to do.
What do you guys think?
is not how it should be done. I have done the 3 Furys that were sold where I work, all 3 had to be adjusted, all 3 "sounded" fine. Mine and another were done at around 1000, 1 was done right at 600. Anyone who admits that he is going to gundeck that part of the maintenance is not someone I would want to work on my bike. Do a search for 600 mile service or first service and see more.He said they usually will check the valves by listening to the engine run then if something is abnormal then they will go in.
