I'm a lot faster now than I was the first time. I now require about two leisurely hours to adjust the valves.

Remove all plastic, fuel tank, and loosen radiators: 20 minutes
Adjust 4 valves: 70 minutes
Replace radiators, fuel tank, and all plastic: 30 minutes

I have learned almost all the shortcuts, so this is about as fast as I am going to get. Because of the cramped quarters and general design of the bike, the process is a bit tedious.
