I got her started up last night after completing "winter" maintenance.
I was expecting valves to be quieter after a valve adjustment but they are slightly louder. Not what I was expecting. I thought the valves would be quiter.
I am confident that clearance is correct (triple checked: clearance before, old & new bucket size, and valve clearance after. All my exhaust valves needed +1 or +2 bucket size smaller and 4 intakes were also changed by 1 bucket size smaller. Bike has 65k miles.
Any experience with noise? With added clearance will valves make noise?
Thank you!
