I have a predator and i am wondering how often to adjust the valves. My local dealer said there is no need to adjust them, is this true?

you only need to adjust them if they are out of spec....so check them first

I asked the question wrong. I meant how often should I check to see if they need to be adjusted.

well generally speaking I only check mine when it gets hard to start. The intake are the ones that tend to get out of wack first and they make it start harder. Youre probably supposed to do it like every 50 hours or so.
