I tried the link above:

o/index.php/Valve_Check
but it doesn't seem to work. Any other write-up available?
Thanks,

So I haven't been putting slack in the timing chain prior to
doing valve checks. Does that mean I'm getting a bad reading? I
just have the stock chain adjuster, but it'll be replaced soon
enough.

You don't need to loosen the cam chain to check the valve
clearances, just be sure the cam lobes are pointing away from
the rocker arms, or set it at TDC to get em both at once. On
the 690, you don't even have to loosen the cam chain to replace
a shim, you can pull the rocker arm shaft instead to access the
shims. It's very convenient. The 690 is easier to replace
a shim than many other dual sports I've worked on.

Ok then, I've been doing it correctly then. Yeah, agreed, the
690 is fairly easy-level maintenance so far. :P
