    You should get this done. Valves tighten as they age and get quieter. This is not a good thing and eventually leads to burned valves and lost compression. I suspect this is the first scheduled valve adjust too so it's quite likely they'll all need adjustment.

    That said, I'd schedule the work for the Winter as a couple of thousand miles of extra riding won't be a problem and it may take awhile to get shims and stuff to set the valve clearances

    For the cost of the service, you could own all the tools, the service manual; and do the work yourself. It's not at all hard, just a little time consuming.

    I do alot of work on my bike myself, but when it comes to motor work I leave that to the pros. Any reliable people out there? The only place around here is wind mill cycle, and I would't trust them with my bike. there is also the pit stop but if you dont have a ducati he kinda gives you the cold shoulder. any suggestions?

    I would go to Suzuki/Triumph in Swansea before Bettencourt's for service. Just my opinion.
