It takes about 3-5 hours for the first check. I take my time and clean up parts under the tank and have a good look around while I've got the panels off.

Honestly the panels come off really quick and easy on this bike, 15 minutes and everything's off and tanks tipped back so the valves are accessible. I don't remove the tank I just rotate it and tip it sideways with everything connected on a towel where the battery is then bungie it down so it doesn't fall off.

I spend the majority of the time trying to get feeler gauges into the exhaust valves.

I did the second check on mine today, 3000 miles on the bike and all 4 were at .04mm. They were all set at .08mm at 500 miles. I'll be sticking to 2500 mile checks until I see those things settle down, 5000 seems a bit too long.
