Valve Adjustment Notes

RC · 07-21-2017, 01:16 PM

Does anyone hear their valves sounding tappier after adjusting? I just did my recent one and had to finish up in a bit of a hurry and I swear it sounds more tappy than before. Is that normal or am I just paranoid? I actually think I set the closer to .06 than .08, but it fired up and seems to idle smoothly. And yes I'm quite confident my valve covers are on.

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.
