But i also say that with the understanding that I dont own a bike that has a super crazy service schedule. If I had a duc, yes I would be much more dilligent about servicing it, checking the valves every 150 miles and such. Being that I have a honda I believe I can stretch the service interval out a wee bit.
You would check your valves after every tank of gas? No fucking way.
