Default Need a little guidance and info

Hello all, my gf and I acquired a Ducati Monster S4R (996 motor) a few months ago. After riding the tires off of it for a bit it is time for the major service. So far here is where I am:

Oil change done
Filter change done
Oil strainer cleaned.
Timing belts changed
Plugs after the valve adjustment..

Now for the questions:

Can someone please give me the specs for the valve clearances (hopefully in mm, my feelers are mm) ? I didn't get the right manual for this bike from the dealer, in fact if anyone has the right manual I'll be happy to trade, I have the 07 model manual with the newer motor.
Is it better to make the adjustment with the timing belts loose or tight? (they are still loose)
Anything else that you guys can recommend while I have this thing apart?

I also plan on getting a vacuum gauge and checking oil pressure as well as sync the throttle bodies.

Thanks in advance.
