Hi all,
So, bought a new ...to me... NC700X recently. The service history is missing; I've got the last service receipt at 34835 miles, but nothing before that. I know the brake fluid is fresh and full, the oil is new from the service too and a bonus for my purchase, brand new front and rear tires.
Still, I've no idea if the valve adjustment has been done ...I assume it would have (based on the number of miles it's done), but is there anyway to know based on the sound of the engine? Silly question, but does anyone have a sound bite of a 'healthy' engine running as compared to an engine that's in need of a valve adjustment?
I understand that the service interval should be 8000 miles or so on the NC700X - but would your good selves recommend a more frequent service?
Kind regards
Paul
