Hey Guys,
I've read about the 10K mile Valve clearances - check/adjust for a while now. Moreover, when I brought my bike in for a tire change, break change and yearly service a few months ago they reminded me that at 10K the rocket should have the valves adjusted and a long list of 10K service items performed.
So recently (after getting another nail in the tire, 4th one in 3 years and some electrical issues) I started talking (emailing)with two Triumph dealerships about the 10K service. I got a surprise. The service guy from one shop wrote:

Is he correct? Is the 10K Valve clearance that I've read about on RIII boards incorrect? Is there anything then that is really important in the 10K service that isn't covered in annual service?
I've relatively recently had my oil replaced, break fluid replaced, coolant replaced, breaks replaced and tires replaced. Is the 10K service necessary / recommended at if the Valve clearance check isn't needed for another 10k miles (if other yearly service has been performed regularly)? Thanks GUYS!

Just to clarify for you on the checklist you have any box that is filled in grey with an X is an item that does NOT require completing at that service.
There was some confusion on the Rockets as a previous release stated that valves were checked at 10K miles. However after confirming with Triumph Technical the Valves are checked at 20K miles.
