no one knows for sure, there is not Maverick service manual out. You can guess and use the Commander specs.

Do you know what they are. I've done a search and haven't really seen a good spec on them.

If u listen to the opinions on here, 80% say dont worry about the valves at 10hrs. 20% say adjust them. I didnt adjust mine and at 20 hrs now I can feel my machine getting stronger . Well.... before I crashed it was anyways .... **** !!!

It's hit and miss my outlander went 4500 miles before I had to adjust them but at around 2000 miles my commander needed them adjusted

Had 1 exhaust valve loose on the rear cylinder. have not done the front yet. I got something from the dealer and it was.
Intake .060 to .140
Exhaust .110 to .190. Metric
Intake .0024 to .0055
Exhaust .0045 to .0075 standard.

do whatever makes you feel good. I consider the valve at 10 hrs a no go myself. if you feel, hear or something seems wrong, get it done.i go into 100-125 hrs myself never a issue

These numbers look wrong. Of course I don't have actual specs and I'm not sure anyone does but I've never seen numbers like that.

that is what they are for the commander the "dealer said"
This came from the Commander Forum:

Page 41 of manual...........
Valve Clearance
Exhaust: .0043 to .0075 in
Intake: .0024 to 0055
Benzo, I'm not gonna say you're wrong but I think you are missing a zero. 0.04" on the intake is WAY too loose. 0.004" on the intake is much more realistic.

If I were doing it I'd also go .004 on intake and .006 on exhaust. I'm almost at 10 hours but after this thread I've decided to hold off on doing the valve adjustment until we can get some positive numbers. It's not going to hurt anything to wait until 20 or even 40 hours and hopefully by then there will be a definitive answer on exactly what they should be set at. This is not something you should have to guess at.
