My RS/ 2018 has 43,600 kms. I did most of the 40,000 maintenance myself and let the dealer do the valves check and service the fork that should have been done at 30,000 kms. The bike is ready for pick up tomorrow and the valves are checking on specs. Any of you had a valves adjustment and if you did, at what mileage ?

No adjustments needed so far.
My RS has 41,000 miles and my wife's RS has 39,000 miles.

Just like a K Bike, a liquid cooled boxer rarely needs a valve adjustment.
