Valves sound ok?
It’s been a bit since I’ve adjusted valves and I’m always super paranoid they are tapping too much. Do they sound ok to you guys or should I give them another check? Thanks for helping my ocd and anxiety either way lol

Tappy valves are happy valves, I'm told. Mine are chatty too. I adjusted them recently @ 2000 miles and they're still noisy. I'm trying to accept it. How's yours running? Mines doing ok, so I'm gonna let it ride. I still have fleeting moments of thinking the Hawk might grenade any second, but I'm working through it.

I was starting to notice some hesitation, like the bike was almost fighting against itself, seemed much better after adjustment. I understand the paranoia! I love all my bikes and I don’t want to screw something up and damage them, no matter how cheap they are.

That sounds like the right level of clatter for this engine.
