As I learn this bike I will learn to distinguish the tappet noise from the rest of the mechanical whirrings.

A little tappet noise indicates valve are fully closing and not burning. That is a good thing.
Valves (especially on air cooled engines) that are mechanically quiet are not necessarily healthy.


Apparently there may be a model year change from manual to non-adjustable tappets, but it will have to wait for me to open the valve cover to determine that. I would not be surprised that there is no change, considering how inaccurate/incomplete most published press is.

FAscinating, I shall be looking into this baby for my Cali. An old mate of mine had an air horn connected to his old V1000 G5.

You never missed that one I can tell you, sounded like a truck was about to trample allover you!
