Consensus seems to be checking that they are within tolerance at the required mileage is worth doing as it is really rather easy to do. If you find they are out of the specified range (~0.1mm range, which is quite large as motorbike engines go!) then decide if you can sort it or instead use a mechanic. This shouldn't cost an arm and a leg, most expensive bit will mostly likely be shims and a couple of hours labour. Most mechanics will suggest full service at same time since he has to take everything off to do the job!
Happy riding!
Full service meaning cam chain, carb balance, or what?
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
