had the bee into shop for routine check over--these are good people at this dealer ship if they say  something is done its done and done right--even will let you watch progress of service or repair--Bike has 79,000  plus miles and  the valves still did not need adjustment,this is the second time I have had them checked-for my peace of mind-is this common or do I have a strange one here?I dont baby her  but then I dont trash her to hard..anyone else have this kind of experince??

At 88,000 miles the ST 1300 hasn't needed adjusting. Honda makes a good engine.

Adjusted my valves twice in 242K+ miles.   Should say we checked them.

They were all close enough we never adjusted them.

Still runs like a scalded dog.
