I'm sure they're fine either way. The lash is so tiny anyway...

Small air cooled engines, (lawn mowers) are .07-.11 so your fine.....

So I opened the engine cap as in Jeffs video, one valve was 0 mm and the other 0.07 mm
Set both to 0.05-0.06 mm
The noise now is same strength but seems more "even" or simetrical.
I'll post some photos and maybe a video soon with all the modifications and stuff I put on the bike for the trip to NY...
Good night & happy weekend everyone
