Or maybe my ears are just playing tricks on me, because I was pretty sure that the bike got quieter after my recent oil change.

LOL! I know EXACTLY what you're talking about! I set Mrs. 2LZ RX3 and they sound "as expected" but on my RX3, I swear they make more noise, especially when cold. They sound basically normal when it's hot....but still rattlier than Mrs 2LZ. As we all are, I was totally anal in making sure the gaps on both RX3 were .08.
I think it's my paranoia after hearing some of the mishaps here with setting the valves too tight. I'm still thinking that I may recheck mine again....,out of paranoia. ;-)
