Personally I'm anal about keeping my engine in top shape, so I adjust valves every 5k just to be safe. minimum of check clearances, but I'll adjust if i need to.
No, the initial 600 mile service is a "glorified oil change" as the owner at the shop that I bought my Z1000 told me. The oil gets changed and then the tech goes down a long list of bolts, parts, fluids, etc. A valve adjustment is not on the list.

Bingo! The 2nd Gen engine was re-tuned a little for more low end torque but nothing else.
