Back in April of this year I started to worry about the valves on my 2014 V-Strom 1000 with 14,160 miles on the clock. Strange how I have never worried about the valves on any car I have owned?
I got paranoid and booked the bike in to a main dealer, paid £456 and was told the next day that the valves were all in speck, I didn't even have a loan bike and had to use a bus..... Yes! a bus.
Anyway, I'm glad I had it done but I wasn't going to rush to have it done again, even though I say that and after watching what I'm about to post, paranoia will probably creep back in around 30,000 and I'll start to worry again.
I was watching something else on YouTube this morning then this popped up, I think it's well worth a watch and I think the chap in the short film is a down to earth knowledgeable chap who loves his V-Strom. Sorry in advance for wasting your time if you don't agree. :thumb:

That's all I've got to say about that. :roll:

Great bloke, been following his channel since I got my vee and funnily enough I used his walk through to do my valves.
His bike is about to hit 100k as well which is reassuring....
