Monte,
Originally, the manuals for the bonneville listed the valve clearance check/adjust maintenance as every 8000 miles or 2 years whichever comes first. Sometime in '04 or early '05, Triumph "increased" the mileage intervals (time intervals remained the same) for all the twins engine maintenance schedules. The valve maintenance is now at 12000 mile intervals or 2 years whichever comes first.
For those of you with the older Triumph service manuals, just mark out the miles and change the note so the Kms readings (in parenthesis) are now the mile readings and the scheduled maintenance chart will be up to date. :-D :-D
I haven't seen a Haynes manual; however, it should have been developed after the change was made and should have the later mileage intervals.
