Valve Adjustment Shims

I seem to remember reading here or somewhere that some experienced folks skip checking CB1100 valves "since they're never out of spec for this precision machine," or something to that effect.

Did I misunderstand that?  Or maybe I generalized one member's extreme minority opinion? Do folks truly not hassle with checking the CB1100 valves, or am I on the wrong track and they definitely need checking per the maintenance schedule?

Thanks in advance for helping the new guy.

all this people i have done flashes for and talked too report most bikes dont need adjustment at all i checked mine at 8k and all were in spec     i have talked to a few owners with 150k plus and theirs didnt need it either a check is not bad to do every 10k or 20k
