That would mean one less service item that dealers would not get to charge a handsome fee to do.
The vast majority of owners do not do their own maintenance, including oil changes.
How many car and truck owners do you know that do their own oil changes?
Of all my many acquaintances, friends, and relatives, I can count that number on 2 fingers, and one of those fingers represents me.
I'm not saying that's the only reason Honda and all other companies don't choose to provide maintenance-free valve actuation, but I think along with cost of production and redesign of the cylinder head it's a major reason.
I agree. It has to be tied to the dealer thing. When they design a new bike it would be very simple to go with hydraulics “up front”. At ne time with screw/locknut it was pretty simple to set the valves. Now, with shims under bucket it‘s a major job on most bikes. On an old BMW you could have the valves adjusted before you can get the plastic off a new bike
Ouch! That would be why I never let anyone ride my bikes. I hope this guy made it right with you.I decided to rent my bike on Riders Share. My first rental was this weekend and he returned it today.View attachment 45972View attachment 45973

I know a guy that put his Kaw Concours on Rider's Share. It came back the same way. He said Rider's Share ended up buying the bike from him.I decided to rent my bike on Riders Share. My first rental was this weekend and he returned it today.View attachment 45972View attachment 45973
I love Hood Canal! I used to spend a week or two there in the summer when I was a kid, at my grandparents’ place.View attachment 45992
Rode along part of the Hood Canal up 101. Enjoyed the first rain in months. Drops so thick I thought it was hail at first. A throughly beautiful day
Hold steady 45 mph or less on a route with no stops or reasons to decelerate and accelerate. Make it 100 miles minimum and return to the same gas pump you start from. That’s what I did to get in the high 80’s and low 90’s. My 2012 manual got my personal best of 94 IIRC - the 2015 DCT best is 84.3.That is just incredible Janus. Amazing.
My best so far is 76.9. Sounds like I still have some figuring out to do lol
My peak speed was about 70, maybe higher. Passed someone when I got tired of fluctuating speeds by the truck I was following. I also had my top trunk on.Hold steady 45 mph or less on a route with no stops or reasons to decelerate and accelerate. Make it 100 miles minimum and return to the same gas pump you start from.

Oh, and remove luggage and large aftermarket windshields.
