Most likely he's never seen one that needed it. None of my "shim adjusting" bikes has ever needed an adjustment. Maybe it's because I tend to ride conservatively, rarely visiting the red line.
The two "push rod" bikes I owned (BMW and Moto Guzzi) needed frequent adjustments with at least two valves or more out of spec every 6000 miles. At least it was an easy DIY. I will be checking the CB soon but I don't expect any valves "out".
