I had a valve clearance inspection plus oil change service done at 16k and it was 2 hours labour for the valve check +1 hour for oil change and checking head bearings (they’d replaced, but I’d reported issues). That said, I now do not have much confidence in the place that did it. I do at least know that they got the heads off as I have photos. 2 hours seems quite reasonable and I wouldn’t be surprised if you were quoted more. Price is not much use to you since this was in 2010.

I think I paid something over £500 for the major service and valves. I wasn't sure if the previous owner had done it. This was 8 years ago. Definitely not worth it, no difference in the bike, I don't think the valves needed doing and probably never will.

Adjusting the valves in a engine that is not sorely out of spec will not make any noticeable difference in performance.  You can have major valve damage if they are too tight so it is worthwhile to make sure they are within spec.  My bike just got it 1st looksee at 50K and all of the intakes were very tight.  Luckily there was no damage to the valves yet, but not far away.  Easier to adjust valves then have to remove the head and replace a valve or two.
