how often do you REALLY have to do them - i saw what the factory service manual said as far as checking valve lash. but for a commuter bike how often does it really need adjusting?

wow - why would they want to make it harder to plate a newer bike than an older bike? it can't be for the sake of fuel consumption or emmissions because the newer the better for the most part.
