I checked the valves on my TBS (12000 mile service) last week using the Triumph tool. Only one inlet shim needed changing.
The webbikeworld article is your friend.
Just like to add that the valve cover is a pig to remove (and replace), I removed the front two coils to give a bit more room to move the cam cover, also remove the cam cover bolt seals before you try to remove it, I spent hours searching for one that dropped onto the garage floor and hid itself under a rag.
I also found it easier to turn the engine over using the nut on the end of the crank rather than trying to turn the engine over by placing the bike in top gear and nudging the rear wheel round. Didn't need a new gasket as it came off in one peice with the engine cover, although I had one just in case.
Finally, I found it easier to smear a thin coat of silicone in the vicinity of the cam cutouts in the head by first replacing the cam cover, then lifting the cover with a couple of wedges, which gives enough clearance to apply a smear of sealant in the cam cutouts and surrounding area, if you apply it before trying to replace the cam cover you will end up with goo everywhere but where you want it
Have fun!
