Default shim valve adjustment

ok guys heres a quick one i just did a valve measurement on my 96 katana 600 and and a couple of the exhaust shims gave a clearance of about .30 mm which is out of spec on the .25. now does this mean that those valves are loose or tight? if they are out of spec and on the loose side should i just leave it alone? is there any significant damage that can occur. please if your outthere CP, Q4, pentsgrade help
