Hi Almal

I'll keep this in English. Why does the 1200 Boxer engine require regular maintanance work on the valvetrain, for instanst retorquing of the rocker arm bolts, and the regular valve clearance adjustments? With Leo's engine dropping a valve on 175000km I think its prudent in asking this questions? None of my cars ever neede this attention, why does my bike?

And lastly, if your answer is not TO THE POINT....aag hel, hoekom probeer ek nog...

fire away!
