checking clearances is easy to do and not worth taking to a stealer, 1hrs casual labour (with tea!) had the tank off, cam cover off, clearances checked and bike reassembled. Decided that 2 intake valves were only 1 thou (inches) out of spec on the tighter side so will leave them be for now. Since it's the intake it'll be cooler than exhaust side so burning out due to poor fit against head is less of an issue.
Looks like my rattling is just the bloody cam chain! Poor design Mr Yamaha...
