Default Mileage check

How many miles/km do you have on your KLX?

Also, at what intervals have you had your valves checked and/or shimmed?

I'm at 750 miles on my '07 and no valve check yet.

You will know when your valves need doing 12,000km as per manual

Alot of people check their valves too often as they think valve clearance increases over time but it is the opposite.

Do your valves at 12,000kmand the bike will tell you when they need doing as it will be hard to start hot.

Just ride it

7600 and had the valves checked three times twice under other warranty issues, and they were always right in specs.
