Hi all 

As per the subject the motor in my falco sounds a little ropey
Only go 18 thousand miles but still sounds ropey when first started and doesn't really sound much better once warmed up.
I have no idea when it last have a valve clearence check etc do you think it's worth me booking it in somewhere.
Any ideas what this type of service costs 

Thanks in advance 
If you ride it like you stole it then you probably did !

valves on these normally tighten which makes then quieter, would be worth getting them checked though. More likely to be cam chain tensioner.

He also does service days around the country so call the shop and see if he's doing one near you.
