Had a friend ask me about "carbureted bikes" the other day. Everything he'd ever owned was fuel-injected and he was worried he'd be incapable of keeping a carbureted Ducati running. Then he asked about valve lash. Apparently he'd put a combined 100k on no less than 4 Japanese crotch rockets without ever once adjusting valve lash. I guess he rode them until they weren't as zippy as they used to be, sold them and bought another. He was legitimately considering a Harley because he was afraid of the responsibility of learning to do his own valve lash.
