After reading many comments about checking valve clearances on Fzs1000(2005 model), i decided to check mine anyway at 24k. Spent the last couple of nights getting to them and every one is within tolerance like you would expect a new one to be like.
Its good to know they are ok though and saved me money.
I reckon anyone with a bit of common can check them.
Now to clean out front brake calipers.
