This is a placeholder until I gather all the images/data for this from the service manual.
First and foremost, YES, the 2013+ VL1500 requires valve inspection and adjustment. I have ready on various forums that the valves are self adjusting/hydraulic and this is NOT the case. I will gather the required steps for inspection/adjustment and post below.
Below are the three pages that outline the valve inspection/adjustment process. I will work on posting the other required steps that are mentioned within these steps.
NOTE: The attachments do not always show in order. Check the page number or instruction numbers to correct the ordering.
I have added the following sections under there own posts but also linked here since these steps are required for the valve check/adjustment procedure.
Fuel Tank Removal and Installation 1G-9
Exterior Parts Removal and Installation 9D-9
Air Cleaner Chamber Removal and Installation 1D-7
Spark Plug Cap and Spark Plug Removal and Installation 1H-4
