I'll likely be checking on mine sometime this year. I personally am not too worried about causing problems just by checking things out. If I do something wrong, well it's on me of course — live and learn, such is life. It's no wonder that our society has ended up with such a disposable mentality when it comes to countless products these days.
This is the one job that [url=https://www.cycletunepdx.com/who-we-are/]my mechanic buddy Chris expressed an interest in he and I performing together at his shop if I were up for it. My guess is that he'd really like to have a look inside of the engine. I'd love the opportunity to wrench with him and would be willing to pay to do so, but I also wouldn't have a problem with doing this on my own. I'll make that decision when the time comes. The main drawback (from a financial perspective) with going this route is that there's a good chance I'll end up having a Power Commander installed at that time as well $$$...
dbarkdoll, I agree with the others that it's likely the fuel injectors that you're hearing. But just for peace of mind, were it actually to prove that it was your valves making such noises, you might take some comfort in knowing that the quieter (looser) valves become (as opposed to becoming noisier), the more likely it is that something is going wrong. Quieter = tighter valves, tighter valves = more potential for damage. I'm not sure how old you are, but I would cherish the thought of working together on a motorcycle (any motorcycle) with my father were he still around. If your father has amassed a large number of tools, then it's highly likely that he truly enjoys tasks such as this (ask me how I know, lol). Good luck!
Great information Max! Much appreciated and respected.
