Ouch! but kicking noted.

the following was added to the valve adjust "how to":
Owner's manual says to be performed every 12 months or 6,000 km (4,000 miles) Which happens to be the recommended oil change interval.

anybody ever wait that long to change their oil?
funny how they recommend cleaning the air filter more often than changing the oil.

Once you know what you're doing, it takes less than 10min... if you have to set them I'd say you have maybe 20min work tops... as vers said (and I listen to what he says) do it every other oil change... takes a few min and can get rid of future problems
