The mechanics of valve adjustment for your bike shouldn't differ much from any other motor of that design. You should ask the mechanic about the shims. Different than what most of us are used to, in being able to find parts easily and have bikes repaired quickly, it's not unusual for people in some countries to wait weeks, even months, for parts to arrive....and they're used to this - it's not a shocker for them.
Do the valves need to be adjusted? Does the bike run poorly, or hot?
I'm afraid that your good intentions of having a mechanic unfamiliar with that bike perform valve adjustment could lead to problems you do not now have.
