It is nice when things workout well, and designed to be easily serviced. At least on my gy6, the intake valve is accessible from the top with only the seat bucket removed, and I can get to the exhaust valve, from the bottom, after removing the splash guard under the fuel tank.
Simple maintenance items on the BMW's are a different deal (although the valves are easy to get to), other items are well hidden....to get to the battery, or air filter, it requires removal of 4 side covers, the seat, next clamp and remove two fuel lines, disconnect wiring to fuel pump, and then remove the fuel tank. Now you can check or change your battery, or air filter. If it's the fuel filter that needs attention, you still need to drain the tank, and remove 6 bolts that hold the fuel pump/filter unit, up in the tank. Not a job to be done on the shoulder of the road.
So, when you can do a routine maintenance on an item, in 10 or 15 minutes....it is sweet.
