FastDoc provided a good link describing how to post photographs on these forums. Your bike is barely broken in. Now is a very good time to change the engine oil; perhaps the previous owner did not change it. Checking the valve lash only takes 15 minutes after you learn the procedure. If the valves need adjusted, it only takes another 15 minutes. Make sure the piston is located at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke before you check the valve lash. Both valves will be tight at TDC on the exhaust stroke, which is the wrong location. Both valves will be loose at TDC on the compression stroke, which is the correct place to adjust the valve lash.
