Bike just hit 10,000 how do u know when to adjust valves? any other maintanace i should do?

The service manual has all the intervals, but I think you just need to do some regular stuff like oil change, check sprockets/chain, etc. Valve adjustment is at 15k (I think)

i just read the manual and i think it said that valve clearance is every 26k miles......i may have read it wrong.....

unrulypostman

first valve adjust is at 15,000 Miles per the book

tc3jg

if they were adjusted at 7,000 miles when do you think would be a good time to do it again (bike is at 14,000)

Every 15,000 miles according to the manual. My bike was at 20,000 before I had them adjusted and nothing bad came of it, however it was used to commute ~75 miles a day for like 3 years; so it wasn't pushed hard very often.

If you are running at high rpm very often you would want to change it more often, but we're talking heavy race and track type of usage.

Most of the advanced group track riders and racers that I know check/adjust their valves once every season. Not really sure what that equates to in miles though.

The workshop manual says every 15,000 miles for US and Canadian models, and 26,000 for the other countries.
