reporon,
My valves make a little noise on all my bikes when warmed up which is correct on an non hydraulic valve lifter engine.
Don't run your valves set at zero clearance because you will cause engine problems like burned valves. The owner's manual has the clearances.
Are you sure that the loud noise you hear is the valve rocker arms? The catalytic converter in the exhaust pipe on my DF make a rattle.
