For the idle, I keep the lowest settings just enough that the bike does not die on idle and runs smooth in idle. For warm up it needs 5 minutes depending on weather but after that runs smooth without burp or jerk.

A couple of comments:
Valves being out of adjustment often do not have any symptoms.
If you don't ride "flat out" a lot, and it's running good, I think you can get by with 2X the recommended miles between valve checks but any more than that would make me nervous.
5 minutes is a LONG time to warm up. If you tweek the idle speed up just a bit, I think you will find you can ride it off after about 1-2 minutes in all but the coldest weather. A slightly higher idle speed also makes for better shifts for many riders.
