Ok , when should the valves on an 06' 636 be adjusted? I have 3000 miles on it. Thanks

 

I think around 15 -20K

 

youre first valve adjustment should have been at 600 miles ....

 

marc, manual says 15k

i bet service dept tries to sucker us in

 

10 grand they need to be checked.

 

Thanks guys I read some other forums and I started to doubt that they needed to be adjusted at 1st service of 600 miles. We all know what the dealer charges for that service and we all know what has to be done.

 

My dealer told me straight out that the 600 mile service is nothing more than an oil change, fluid check, and checking for loose bolts. Also, a dealer does not have to do the service to suffice the warranty. Some dealers tell their customers the warranty will be voided if they don't do the first service. I hate shady dealers. [:@]

I wouldn't worry about the valves for at least 10,000 miles. Unless you start hearing them tap real hard. Which is tough to tell on these 636's with that huge ram air opening in front echoing all the engine noise to the rider.

 

yes i agree, its really tough to hear em tapping, i keep listening and i cant tell, it sounds like it but im not sure.

 

i got the warranty, great deal on it to when i bought the bike, i get like 24 services, no fee, so whatevers clever for everyone else, they told me bring my bike in at 600 miles so thats what im gonna do...

 

You can buy up to a 4 year continuance on the manufacture’s warrantee straight from Kawasaki anytime during the first year. When getting warranty work done just provide proof of maintenance like oil and filter receipts.
