This video walks you through how to do a valve check on a 2014 Honda CBR650F. This also shows how to access the spark plugs, which unfortunately is not any easy procedure on our bikes.

In this video I was within spec at the 16k-mile check, but just barely. So before I button her back up, I fine-tuned it. The next step (adjustment) is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10WUA-LyUTU
There is no need to drain your gas or engine oil. It'll be fine.
It looks easier than it actually was. It took about 4 hours for me to do this, referencing the service manual, working leisurely, taking video and learning as I went.

The worst part was in reassembly, trying to slide in place the cylinder head cover with its gasket/packing. Super tight fit and it kept falling apart in the process.
