Valve Adjustment
All my other motorcycles had recomended valve adjustment intervals, I can't seem to find any information onmy 2005 Sportser. Does anyone know what the recomended valve adjustment intervals are?

Yep - I think it is an automatic adjustment done w/ hydraulics, but I've never really looked in to how all that works... Somebody have an explination?

RE: Valve Adjustment
Yep, newer Harleys have hydraulic lifters...
No adjustment needed, unlike most other makes that have solid lifters.

You could put adjustable pushrods int he scoot so you have something to adjust if you want.
