I just picked up a 2002 California found in garage unused for many years. Runs great but very noisy. Adjusted valves per specs and still noisy. Speedo shows only 23k miles. Any suggestions? Thanks Jay3
I used 0.15mm for the exhaust and 0.1.mm for the intake.What specification did you use?
Funny - when I'm stopped at a light with the clutch in you hear some valve train noise - if I put it in neutral you hear More !
My son was *complaining* about how noisy it is...
You know its ALIVE !!!
Maybe he prefers or is just used to the sound of his sewing machine...
Thank you for the responses. I will chill with what I perceived as excessive noise. It is however noisier than my sons 2017 V7 Racer but that is 15 years newer. I am used to the engine noise of my Honda (sewing machine) Goldwing. Since I found this older and neglected California I actually prefer riding this beauty.I used 0.15mm for the exhaust and 0.10mm for the intake.

Great idea. I do plan to attend the WI MGNOC Rally on July 31st. The noise I'm experiencing may very well be something else.You can compare valve tapping and clutch rattle end of month at the WI MGNOC Rally
