I looked at valve adjustment for a variety of engines ranging from the previous gen Kawi 250r to some other Kawi bikes and they all talk about turning the engine in the direction it rotates in during operation.

That said, It shoudln't matter much in which direction it is being rotated during valve adjustment as long as the chain between the sprockets on the camshafts is nice and tight.
Do we know for sure that the engine rotates clockwise under power?
