I know this one lady who told me she put 50k miles on her pregen (I believe it was an 88 model) and she said she never once adjusted the valves, just had a shop clean her carbs once or twice and did the oil change regularly.

Not that I agree you shouldn't do the valves, but 6k seems rather low in my mind. I also heard that after you adjust them once or twice they no longer get any tighter.

As for the whole, lube all the cables every 2 years. Of course it's not necessary, but to be safe it's better to do it than not do it.
