I purchased my '86 in June with just under 16,000 miles. I've since put nearly 5,000 trouble free miles on her. I love the bike and I am planning to keep it for a good long time and as such I'm looking for ways to prevent issues down the road. One of the issues I keep reading about are the soft valves on the '86 that are easily deformed. My question is, should I replace the valves soon with the more recent hardened variety before the soft valves cause damage to other components? Or is it safe to wait until the 60-80k mark when the valves will be shot? Thanks! David S 1986 Kawasaki Concours 1973 Honda CB500
