According to this schedule https://honda-specs.com/xr650l-routine-maintanence/ it looks like it needs to be done every 6,500kms. Mechanic who works on my KLR's says it is a shitty job to do?

My XR (now only got 28,000 kms on the clock) is not idling well when cold, but is fine once warm. Is this perhaps a valve clearance issue and should I be worried about it?
