I remember when I was being taught to do valve clearances on a Z1, the mechanic who was respected as such and a friend, gave me a simple instruction regardless of engine type. He said "monitor the intake valve on the cylinder being adjusted. When it depresses (opens) fully and then starts to come back up, check for the TDC mark to line up on the stator. When the tdc mark lines up, the piston is on full compression. That is the time to check the clearances ".
I have used that rule of thumb ever since and see no reason why it should not apply to the NC also. I have not done my clearances yet though. That is a nasty habit I have cultivated with Hondas only. I first checked the clearances on my GL1800 at 35,000 miles. No adjustment was required.
