Checking the clearance is not a difficult job just a little time consuming. Remove the tank and Coils. Remove the bolt holding the thermostat housing,
Undo the rocker cover blts. Lift it up and take it out the right side. Might need to move the thermostat housing a little to gain clearance.Remove the Stator cover and tie it up out of the way. Turn the engine clockwise. T mark on rotor lines up with front joint of the crankshaft. If the cam shaft dots don't line up almost exactly, it is a sure sign the cam chain is worn.
Turn the engine over to check the clearances and that everything is good at the top of the engine.
Clearances out of tolerance take a bit longer as the carbs, cam tensioner and cams must come off
