Hi everyone. I finally got around to adjusting the valves on my NT. Thanks to all of you who contributed to the great write ups on how to perform this service. Also took the time to change out antifreeze. With that being said I waited till 3800 miles to perform the first check. I found all the valves to be tight. I adjusted them all to spec. Now I have a "ticking sound which is driving me nuts. I went back in to check everything a second time and all the valves were in spec.
I tried researching the forum and I found only one individual mention the ticking after adjusting their valves. To those that would ask yes I was at TDC for both pistons and there was "play" in both rocker arms. So my question is anyone here have the same results with noisy valves after adjusting them? Other than that it fires right up. I have not ridden it yet in fear of damaging something. The throttle response seems snappier than it did before. I would appreciate any wisdom from anyone who would like to chime in. Thanks Tom.
I happened to look at my previous posts and someone asked where in NY I was located. Upstate in Cobleskill 35 miles southwest of Albany.
