I had to get the dealership to come get mine with 400 miles on it. Clutch would slip big time. I have 7k miles on mine now and everything is good. I'm nervous though. I'm keeping my Tenere for a backup. It took 4 months to get clutch parts in Mississippi. My dealership is f==king terrible and will lie all day long..
I have the same bike and have the same concerns with the cams. Yours don't look good at all. They're clearly scored. I'm not sure I would've taken the dealership's word on that. Those should be replaced under warranty, while you still have it. My bike won't see 20,000 miles before the warranty expires, but I'm going to pay to have the inspection done a month before my warranty is up. If mine look like yours and they tell me they're fine, they're going to have a fight on their hands.
I agree on the cams. I have a 6 year warranty. I do trust my dealer, their mechanics are sharp. I had them document the cams with those pictures its on them if it causes any damage since they did the work and the cams are documented.
Thanks for the video Mike! Im mentally preparing for the same service wanted to ask about the cost of it. My dealer gave me a quote for 1800 just for the cams inspection on top will be the yearly service cost.
I've seen costs vary greatly depending on the dealer and region of the country you live in. Put it this way...one dealer in MA was $1900- where as a dealer in NH was $ 1300- for the 20k service. I would do all the fluid changes prior to brining it in...including clutch and brake fluids. In doing this it would probably save me $400-500. I would let the dealer replace the air filter as they are already in there.
@@MikesGarage409 ...holy crap! The price of the valve services alone maybe enough for me to pass on this bike and get another goldwing. My wing has only been back to the dealer once in 40k. Never a valve adjustment nor will it need one.

Sorry to hear about your clutch. It's tricky to set up...I made a mess of mine trying to adjust it.
