Default valve adj

how often do the valves need to be adjusted on the 96ci
and what other major maintenance should one expect during say the first 50kmi

Also how much $$ would you expect it to cost

There are no valve "adjustments" to be made on a TC. You may want to look at the cam chain tensioner pads at some point prior to 50K though. Other than that it's pretty much routine maintenance.
