Use "search" and look in the FAQ sticky. There's some great posts up here already.

Almost 14k. No adjustments needed. You should still check.

@Wavebreaker: the valve clearances are fresh in my mind because I just checked my own today at 8000km (and still in spec).
.15-.24mm ex & .10-.19mm in

My 919 has shim type valves and has remained in spec for 38000km. I have also seen a shim valve bike at 90,000km which remained in spec without ever needing adjustment. I wouldn't let your concern over shim valves be your deciding factor...
