In more practical terms, I run it until the engine starts to stall while coasting with the clutch lever pulled in. That meant the initial adjustment at 500 miles and then running until 4500 miles, at which time the exhaust valve lash adjusters were almost solid. I adjusted them to spec and then ran it to 8500 miles. I did another inspection, despite the fact that the bike was not stalling while coasting this time. I found that the valve lash was still in spec with no change whatsoever from the 4500 mile adjustment. One thing I will add is that I use Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant added to the fuel, per Gerry at CSC's recomendation.

Agreed, I use the same Lucas Magic Goo. I set them at the 500 mile interval, then rechecked them at 1200. Intake was fine. Exhaust was a little tight. I checked them again at about 3800 and they were still in spec. I'm not going to worry about them for a while.
