Ride it, maintaining the level as it is now, until the next scheduled service (oil and filter) then ask yourself the same question again.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

As Mustang says..don't get to paranoid about it. I'm sure my Daytona has been running with 'out of tolerance' clearances for a number of years! Long story..so called professional mechanics dealing with it?? Did it myself in the end! Now ive done them,and set them at thhe biggest gap,I've noticed a little noise from valve train. No prob,bike is running OK. When you get tIme,check clearances,work out what shims you need to change,take cams out,and check condition of guides. Put a new tensioner and chain in. Top and tensioner guides are not too expensive,but front guide..head needs to come off to change!
