I'm sure the info is here somewhere, but I can't locate it so I'll just ask. How often should I check the valve lash on my 1985 K100RS? They was adjusted 22K miles ago when I first bought the bike. I'm about to set off on a fairly long ride this week. Do I need to find a valve cover gasket and be prepared to adjust the valves, or are they likely to be stable for -- eons?
I should add she's running very well, but I have no sense of what tightening valve clearances on a K-bike feels like. My old airhead tells me when she needs attention, but the K-bike is a whole different beast.
