I just had it done on my Vespa at 12k. Meant to do it at 10k, but didn't have the chance.

You should do it every big service, which is every 4K on the Buddy 125s/150s and Vespa 150s. Injected models, maybe less often.
A lot of people neglect this., Buddy valves are usually pretty good and don't need frequent adjustment. Still important to check!

I haven't had to try actually adjusting the valves, but it is surprisingly simple to at least check clearance with a feeler gauge.

If you can check them you can adjust them. It's just a couple of nuts (adjustment and lock) take your time and it's a piece of cake!
