In my opinion the 450R doesn't need as many valve adjustments that most people think.
I have an '04 and have only adjusted them twice and it really didn't need any adjustment when I checked them.

Usually when valves are changed (maybe to KibbleWhite) this is done to have larger valves and heavy duty valve springs to increase performance not to limit the need for valve adjustment.
