77 KZ750 B1 Twin. Valve Question

Offhand, does anyone know when the valves should be adjusted? I bought the bike 2 years ago and it had 4,000 miles on it. Now it has 8,000. Wondering...

If you are that worried about it, just check them.
When new they will take a little time to take a set  in about 1500 miles[ break in and create a wear pattern].
After that check them from 10K to 20K.
Have you done a compression test?

Wow, 8000 miles in 45 years sounds like a trailer or living room queen. We want some pics please.

Inside the factory manual you will find the maintenance schedule showing the valves should be checked every 5000 miles.

Thanks for this.
