I am getting ready to check and if needed, adjust the clearance on the valves. Can someone provide the recommended tolerances. I am sure it's out there in other forum posts, but I get bogged down trying to find information due to the massive amount that is there.

thanks

One source, I'd confirm with service manual.

Valve adjustment

Thanks Krons. Those values match ones on a youtube video. Haven't sprung for a service manual as I didn't think I would be doing tasks that needed one. Any advice on where to get a manual, probably PDF?

Buy a Haynes manual from ebay/Amazon.

According to the Haynes manual for 2010 - 2012 r1200 DOHC Engines cold engine clearances are as follows:
Intake valves- 0.13mm - 0.23 mm
Exhaust valves - 0.30 mm - 0.40 mm
