Hello, new forum member here. Apologies if I posted this to the wrong spot; I'm still learning my way around.
I Purchased my 2014 nc750x almost a year ago with 44,000 KMs. ( i have 55,300 kms now ) it wasn't that well maintained but in a very good shape except for the suspension.
As I'm doing everything by the book i decided to check the valve clearances that are well overdue.
I did everything how it supposed to be and took me some long hours ( first time doing this kind of jobs ) I took my time doing it and took my time to understand all the mistakes on Youtube and maybe the misprint on some of the service manuals.
TDC, 360 degrees when no clearance.. everything.
I didn't remove the spark plugs tho.
the valve were a bit tight so i loosened them to spec.
now I'm Getting some valve Noises even though the bike rides beautifully ( didn't have any engine or idling problems before the adjustment )
noticed some grime on the valve cover ( air filter never changed before ? )
is the link for the sound im hearing
any input is much appreciated
