Found the left side just fine so no adjustment made. On the right side, the side that was apart originally, found too much play in the intake rocker arm. Once I got that where I like it the valve lash was good. First test run and it sounded great. So I'm happy

Thanks again Duane your help is much appreciated.

Glad that you found it, congrats. Patience and research sometimes pays off.

Few rider/owners seem to understand the why and how to adjust valves.

I compare it to checking blood pressure. Checking blood pressure doesn't do anything for fixing it. Same with checking the valve adjustment. It may tell one to start looking and where to start looking.
