Valve clearance check

Valve clearance check
My bike isn't starting and I have a good battery. 11k on it I don't think po did a check. With my OLD when it wouldn't start it ended up being the valves.
Anyways I've been looking the innerwebs trying to find the specs for the valve clearance. Bike is a
2012 KLX250s.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Here ya go.
Intake: 0.10mm - 0.19mm
Exhaust: 0.15 mm - 0.24 mm.
Your bike doesn't have a ton of miles, so make sure you check stuff like spark and fuel first.

At least remove the spring from the compression release, it is unnecessary. If you haven't done it, jet the carb. It is too lean everywhere. If you use Dyno Jet check out KLXter's set up. If you use Kawasaki stuff look in the link in my signature for the set up riders have used for years. It is from D. Pippin's web site. I did the Kaw stuff myself along with a Dial-A-Jet. Works fine and I have fired it up in 3 degree F temperatures, no problems.
