A review by Motorcyclist of the shadow sabre mentioned that hydraulic valve-lash adjusters are "maintenance free", but do they really need no adjustments (outside of failure). I don't want to assume they don't need adjust and discover I was wrong after something catastrophic happens. Though I'm not even sure if that's possible, I mean I assume it's not an interference engine, so what's the worst that could happen?

The only thing you need to adjust on hydraulic valves is when there are two valves on one hydraulic arm. You need to make sure that the valves are even and there isn't uneven wear on them. Other than that you're good to go. They automatically adjust for lash and valves being pushed into the head.

My NH 750 has hydraulic lash adjusters.
NO MAINTENANCE.
Can't beat it.
Less maintenance = more riding time
