When I bought it I ran a feeler gauge through them and they seemed pretty darn snug so I thought nothing of it and left them alone considering the bikes low miles. Now I'm learning the valves on these engines tend to fall out of spec by closing up rather than the usual sloppy, wider clearance. With that in mind, a valve adjustment is now my next to-do item.
I hope to make time for it this weekend. I'll report back with my findings.
Thanks for the insight!
