These bikes really don't have much in the way of adjustments. These noises in the engine are not normal, I've been riding bikes for over 30 years.

With respect here, after adjusting the valves and it went from bad to worse, that’s pointing to the valves. We’re assuming that the engine was on the compression stroke when the valves were adjusted? Easy to to get things wrong here. Plenty of info. on how to adjust them here. Thinking out loud…
