I measured them religiously every 28,000 miles on my first engine and they were still fine when I finally junked the engine at 115,000.
Regular oil changes are the most important thing.
I never did my valve clearances either and ditched that bike at 125,000 miles!
(Although by this time I needed to hold the throttle full on to start her, but you get the point- your clearances will be fine!)
Some say...
