I thought the valve adjustment would not make much difference as the bike was already running pretty smoothly, but cold starting (below 40F) is much easier; the bike idles and warms smoothly at full choke without needing any encouragement on the throttle - before I would usually give a little throttle and switch to half-choke as quickly as possible whence it would hesitatingly idle until warm.

There's also a touch more power. I know this as there's a 14% grade I have on the way to work and the bike will accelerate uphill in fourth; before I would hold it in 3rd until near the top.
