Total bullshit
Once done correctly I had better smoother power and no more hesitations in high rpm

There are feeler gauges, and then there's the good old Chinese feeler method. I wouldn't want to count on the latter, but I did actually do it one time on a rental bike in Vietnam. Intake was tighter than a new bride so I set it by feel. There's an old saying that too loose is better than too tight, but why risk it.

BTW, you did sit in the shop all night and wait until morning when the engine was stone cold to adjust the valves... right?

Cheers!
