For the EX250-F13 (1999 model):

Valve Clearance (Cold)
Intake: 0.08-0.13 mm 0.003-0.005"
Exhaust: 0.11-0.16 mm 0.004-0.006"

It doesn't much matter that you lost your owner's manual.

Every motorcycle sold in the USA will have a little white tuneup
sticker under the seat, on the airbox lid, under the side cover, or on
the chain guard.

The valve clearances, idle rpm, etc. will be on that sticker.

But it's still odd that you're asking for the valve clearance
information if you're going to have somebody else adjust your valves.

A mechanic in a motorcycle shop would know about the tune up sticker,
you wouldn't have to tell him anything.

Are you going to pay your buddy a six pack of beer to adjust your
valves, or what?

If you have an enthusiastic friend you wants to "help" you, buy a
repair manual.

<Curious>

Is this right? It certainly isn't true in Europe.

<toddles out to the parking lot>

PStG is right.

It's a US federal requirement to have what's commonly called an 'emissions
label' under the hood of a car or somewhere on the bike. My ZG1000's
white label under the seat has the engine family code, the idle RPM,
octane requirement (91 RON), ignition timing, valve clearance, idle
mixture setting (not adjustable), and a few other things I can't recall.

The tire/wheel size and recommended inflation pressures are on a separate
(black) sticker, also under the seat.
