Your bike has no lifters, to start with, it has dual overhead cams (DOHC). Noise from the cam drivetrain is good. When you don't hear them rattling away, then you have cause to be worried.
Anyway, Welcome to the forum, you'll find a lot of informative stuff here, our unofficial, but official greeter, BassCliff will be along sometime today to greet you with a whole lot of good links to go to find out about your bike. In fact, here's a link to his home page(BikeCliff) with a wealth of information: http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/
Enjoy!!

Greetings and Salutations!!
Hi Mr. vallo2019,
Yes, performing routine maintenance, like valve clearance checks, on these bikes is not hard. And we're here to help. You'll need a breather gasket, valve cover gasket, a tappet tool (or use the "zip tie method"), and some extra shims (but you won't know what size shims you need until you know what sizes you have and what your clearances are). There's a handy guide on my website. Welcome.
