Yes maybe but it's not like I'm never going to do it probably later this yr or next spring. What symptoms would I be experiencing if they needed adjusting? I mean I do hear the cams hitting the buckets a little but I think that's normal.

Nice bike. Before you Sync or fine tune it, you must make sure the valves and routine maintenance procedures are done. You have VM carbes. They are cheaper and easier to repair and tune. If those are Graphite/silicon HT wires you should loose them. Hard to make good connections. Been there.

They look cool but unless you have the proper connections, they will fail in a short amount of time. I'm sure you know about the dust boots on the forks. You should get new ones or the seals can be damaged.
Steve
I have to take the fork off to change the seals right? Well the coils are firing so why change them?
