I have put 14000 miles on my 05 V Star 1100 and I haven't adjusted the
valves yet. Is this a no no? If so does anyone know how often they need to
be adjusted?

It's in the owner's manual. The clearance should be checked every oil
change, I believe.

Obviously neither of you have read the manual. I think the interval for
checking/adjusting the valves on most Yamaha's with shim type adjusters is
26,000 miles. The V Star may be screw and nut type, I'm not exactly sure.
It probably wouldn't hurt to at least check them on the 1100.

Hey, Harry, I used to own a V-Star 1100. I still have the PDF manual.
It says to check the valve clearance every 6000km, so every oil
change. Obviously, you have not read the manual.

True or not, that's ridiculous. I could believe every 60,000km.
