If you are just checking clearance and everything is fine then just pop it back together and ride it!
My carbs are a bit out of ballance. If checking filters involves a lot of work needed for carb balance as well, that makes sense. If not, then no need.
Same goes for cam chain replacement. It's probably near the end, but still works. So I'm between minds whether to do it or not.
Sparsk, fluid, brakes, coolant - all piece of cake and regularly DIY. Air filter as well.
The only thing I'm scared of doing is this "inside" the engine.
Yes, rear suspension linkage needs lube as well per Haynes, but no play and I'd rather leave that as is.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
