Rich and All-
Guzzis aren't known for having quiet valvetrain, but it shouldn't be
objectionable...especially with loud mufflers.
Make sure you adjust the valve clearance while the bike is completely cold.
If you don't, they'll be too loose and make more noise. Re check them after
a couple of days too.

Any way the bike seems to make a lot of lifter/rocker noise. How much is too much, I rechecked the valve lash today and it is at .1 mm in and .203 mm out which is what the book calls for. The bike doesn't seem to have a whole lotta power either, although I was in traffic I did get up to 50 mph. Boy do you get a lotta looks riding a loop frame. I still have a ways to go to finish it but at least I am riding it, I want to do a longer trip tommorrow maybe if it isn't raining. One other thing I noticed is a slight whinning sound from the tranny is that normal, seemed louder at 45 or 50. Thanks for all the advice from everyone, Rick 67 V700 Fl ============================================================ Enter the email zone through My Topica - a free email subscription system designed to maximize email efficiency and minimize inbox overload.
