It would be a good idea to get your vavles adjusted. Mine have been adjusted once already.

Chewbacca, you voided your warrnty if you haven't had its first service and valves adjusted. Since you have no mods that voided it already.

well i have not had mine adjusted once yet. The valves on a motor are what let the feul/air mixture in and the exhaust gasses out of the cylinder. The timing of the opening and closing of these can affect your performance greatly because if the exhaust valve stays open while the feul/air mixture or intake valve is opening then the air and gas is just going straight thru and not getting used. The dealer requires u to get them adjusted at ur first oil change because during the break in period they can become out of timing and cause problems. The reason why i am questioning is that i can tell when valves are out of timing (ive grown up in motors pretty much cause of my dad) and mine arent showing any signs of it and for the money it takes extra to get the valves adjusted I would much rather have a jet kit put on my baby.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
