    82 gs750 valves - how loud??

    My 82 runs better since I adjusted the valves and opened them up a pinch. They are within spec. but they do sound more clicky. This bike I bought had carb work done and I have cleared them out thoroughly with Sea Foam. Again, running great; any danger in regard to valves being noisier?

    Thanks

    Not if you adjusted them correctly.

    Life is too short to ride an L.

      How loose did you set them?
      I set the valves on my '81 1100E on the upper most end of loose and they are quiet.

        I've never owned a quiet sixteen valve head.
        They make noise but should not be LOUD.
