Welcome, Mickey.
You’re unlikely to be tested too much adjusting the valves on your new LC. Unless ridden very hard, the clearances normally open up about a thou of an inch in the first 40,000km or so and that’s it.
I adjusted mine for the first time at the 120,000km service only because I’d bought a shim kit sone while back in anticipation. Clearances closer to the tight end will make the engine a bit quieter though.
Cheers
Mark
