Default How often do you check pushrod adjustment

I've done 12000Km's since I installed cams, lifters, pushrods, tuner & fuel moto 2-1-2 headpipes. Just curious, is there an milage that requires me to check adjustment or are they just set and go. Bike runs sweet, thanks.

Don't fix what ain't broken! Once push rods are adjusted they don't require any attention. You'll know if you develop a problem, & it's more likely to be a lifter than a push rod.
