Not sure what bike you have but here is the '07 1098 specs from the factory.

I the spec is .13 to .18 for the openers and .05 to .10 for the closers.
remember the spec is in mm.
for my race bike I do .13 intake op, .15 ex op and closers @ .10.
I recheck them every 3 races so if you want them to last use .15 int op, .18 ex op and closers @ .05.

These specs have not changed much over the years - the opening rockers should be as close as possible to .004" inlet and .006" exhaust. The closers should be .002" all 'round.
This is in the old 'thou' (thousandths of an inch) measurements.
The factory specs have widened the range of acceptable clearances on these, but as always putting them dead right is best..
