A service manual may be of help to you at this stage, when starting with the valve inspection.
Have a look under https://www.v-strom.co.uk/downloads.htm for the link: "Suzuki V-Strom DL1000A L4 on Workshop Manual". This manual covers the L4 -L6 Veek models.

Valves are 15k miles between checks I believe, some manuals say 14.5k since they're in km and converted to miles but most go 15k miles.
