I elected to have the shop check my valves for the 600 mile check. I will do the next one if I can ever find a good post about plastic removal. (If you ever see a Honda engineer walking funny cause he has one of those side covers stuck up his butt, I had nothing to do with it....I am the guy who is buying little Japanese engineer voodoo dolls)
Anyway, the mechanic made me a nice but oil stained chart of the valve clearances as he found them. They were all within plus or minus one thou. The bolt head and washer position I photographed are now all in different positions so I think the check was really done. With 9% sales tax, the cost was $355. I am considering one of the extended warrenty options Honda offers. Once I get the Oprah lids and the luggage rack with soft luggage adaptor installed, I will be ready for a short overnight tour to maybe a campground on the way up 410 to Mt. Rainier NP or maybe Glacier NP to check things out and try out my new sleeping bag.
The more I ride this bike the more I like it.....
