Today I set my valves again. It seems that about every 500 kilometers or so they need redoing. Putting them at .002 (.05mm) as per the owners manual provides for much less valve noise, even when hot.
I also took the time to tape up some connections to the coil and reroute my spark plug wire. The bike came with the little metal thing that you snap wire into attached to the intake bolt. I attacked the routing thingy to the valve cover bolt and the spark plug wire routs better away from the engine.
