Default Raptor 350 valve adjustment

What are the recommended valve adjustment intervals?Everyone has different opions,what is everybodys on here?I bought it in July 04,dealer said to run it for about a year.I say thats BS,according to what I've heard.Put a pipe on it,it was running good,went out saturday and it started missing on the top end.I've heard this could be something too troubleshoot.Going to go get a service manual today and try it myself.

Well thats just being dumb and lazy, just like not doing your jetting for the weather, you HAVE to make sure you valve are adjusted, it take 5 minutes and it keeps your 5k quad in good running order.

Ow ould bet you 100 bucks right now your exhaust side is tight. Do it yourself, look online for a clymer manual for a warrior and look up valve adjustment. All you need are feeler guages, allen keys and a 10mm wrench.
