I checked valve clearances at 24,500kms and they were within spec. No problem. Just got in from the garage where I finished the second check at ~51,000kms. Ho-Lee-Crap. They *barely* moved! Still in spec!
Here's what I've got"
Intake Exhaust
24,500kms FRONT
L.127mm R.127mm L.203mm R.254mm
51,000kms FRONT
L.127mm R.178mm(?) L.203mm R.245mm
Intake Exhaust
24,500kms REAR
L.153mm R.127mm L.203mm R.203mm
51,000kms REAR
L.153mm R.127mm L.203mm R.203mm
Spec: In - .10mm to .20mm
Ex - .20mm to .30mm
So, from that, you see that everything is within spec, although on the tight side of things (which is good for power). But the most interesting part (for me, anyway) is that this damn thing barely moved since the last adjustment. Is this par for the course for other TLs out there? And I figure I'll just leave them the way they are again...
On another note, I'm hoping that the front right intake difference (loosening?) is just a bad measurement on my part.

Damn I love this bike...
