Hydraulic Lifters
This may be a stupid question, but I checked the manual for my bike, and I can't find a service interval for my valves. Is it true that hydraulic valve lifters do not need adjustment, or am I missing something?

Re: Hydraulic Lifters
That's correct. No valve adjustments required.

Re: Hydraulic Lifters
Hyperr's got the simple answer, but to complicate it further, some do and some don't... lol
I know for example on Yamaha cruisers they have forked rockers, and one of the forks is a fixed length, the other is adjustable. The hydraulic lifter adjusts the fixed one, and the adjustable one has to be adjusted if it's off.
Otherwise, for the vast majority of the time, no they don't lol.
