Recently bought my '11 NT700V last month with about 9500 miles. The Owner's Manual maintenance schedule states that the "valve clearance" needs to be inspected @ 8K. Is there any way that I could found out IF it was actually done by the previous owner via a Honda dealership or someone else, possibly by a VIN number database. A few years back, I approached the local Honda dealership with a similar question about my DN-01 and they said "no." My main reason for asking is because both bikes use the same engine but the NT700V "sounds" differently than the DN-01 (about 15k miles), like it wants for me to "up shift," higher pitch sound. I DO get better gas mileage from the NT700V over the DN-01, about 10+, of course, the DN-01 IS an automatic, 6 speed. Any input would be welcome. I don't want to spend money IF I don't have to or possibly have the shop "damage" the bike dis-assembling/re-assembling. Thanks
