Valve Clearances tightening
#8
Interesting to note that the valve usually get tighter as mileage climb. The 1st time I check, my CB had been on the loose end limits and wondering will it get more loose or more tight, but riding privileges had been scarce lately and I can't clock enough mileage for next check.

When clearance getting smaller, will it make the top quieter or louder? Some old mech told me when valves clearance is out of spec, there will be baby bird chirping sound... But i read in some motorcycle forum and they claim tighter valve will be more quieter hence can't know when its too tight until too late..
