Anyone Check Their Valve Clearances?

Out of maybe a dozen bikes Ive only had to adjust the valves ONCE on one engine. Ive checked clearances maybe a dozen times.

This is your chance to post if you've ever checked the Yaris clearances and what you found. Almost no one does this or at least Ive seldom seen a post.

Bonus points if you've ADJUSTED them!

Never checked mine, is there ever a need to do this?

That's what Im trying to determine. BAsed on my experience with motorcycle engine, and the fact that Ive never heard of a problem with the Yaris engine coming from not doing it, I would say no.

Its pretty easy to CHECK the clearances, but difficult to ADJUST them.

As others have said, the official requirement is 60,000 miles.
