It is easy to shim if you have some skill with wrenches and a hot cams shim kit.
Before tearing it down and replacing anything set the clearance correct or have someone do it then ride it a bit.
Ive done a dozen bikes that have been way out of spec and they ran fine for a long time.
Replace the valves, springs, and recut the seats...and if you never want to have valve issues again get a stainless steel valve and spring kit. I was doing valves once a year on my 06 crf250...then I put stainless in it and never had another issue.
Start the bike,the carbon gets beat off and then check clearance again. This time they will usually go a while.
If you aint got money to blow on a bunch of parts and dont ride it ever day shimming it till you cant get a thinner shim will get you a lot of ride time for nothing more than the cost of the kit.
