Fourth valve check at 103,400 miles on 2014 ES.

Finally having the reshim the intake valves. All four cylinder's intake valve clearances have tightened by 0.001 to 0.0015 inches, to 0.0050 and 0.0055 inches.

Intake valve clearance s/b 0.0059 to 0.0087 inches. Prior valve check at 80,412 miles.

Cam lobes look beautiful, no scratches or signs of wear.

Since you are doing it anyway, change all the intakes to around 70% of the max allowable and you may be good for another 100,000 miles.
For my 2007, I sold the bike at 187,000 miles and only ever had to adjust intake valves. They were close to minimum from the first check, but I didn't have to actually make changes until maybe 80,000 miles or more. One more adjustment at 160,000 miles or so. Exhaust valves never needed adjustment in the time I owned the bike.
