New 2021 Venture - Starting Question

[Roger]

I've got 27000 km's on my fuel injected, no issues yet.
Thinking about doing my valves this summer.
I did my old inline 4 cylinder Suzuki motorcycle once. Easy peasy
5 minutes to get the valve cover out of the way, and everything was right there.
This dam thing, likely 4 hours to get the head off!

I won't be buying Yamaha again, as it's just way to complicated.

Well you might as well go and buy a Bravo because they're all like that now.

just to do the valve shims, you just need to pull the valve cover. no need to pull the head.
