But I would verify those crazy Honda rumors if we got that dope Stylo 160 in the USA!
I can't imagine that a Honda would need that kind of valve check after the initial post sale adjustment. The recommended distance between adjustments on a Chinese scooter is about 2400 miles but I found that it wasn't necessary after the first two for a good long time. You would think that wear would be minimal on a Honda built with Japanese materials.

I'm thinking you'll find that to be true on your Buddy. Unless someone flogs the living crap out of a scooter the valves settle in after a while.
