Valves???

[dirtstalker]

Valves are ticking a lil louder then normal. I've adjusted em twice..and it seems to be the same. First time I adjusted..i put them in the middle of the specs. Today I put em on the tighter end of specs..will this hurt? they haven't got any quieter. Is it better to run em on the tight side, or on the mid-to-loose end of the specs?

as long as you're within the specs you should be okay, at least i'd think so it makes sense

 

[dirtstalker]

that's what I'm thinking. just not sure. Bike runs good

As long as you're within spec you're good. I think mine are on the tighter side too. Did you change your oil with a lighter weight? If so, that can increase valve noise.

No change in oil, been using rotella t 15-40 for almost a year now. Everyone of these warriors I've ever been around have had a noisy top end. some just louder the others.
