I have just been adjusting the tappets (valve clearance) on my 2000 XVS1100
Dragstar at .10 for the inlet and .15 for the out, these are within the
tolerances set in the Yamaha workshop manual but it is still not good, does
anyone have a clearance setting that works?

Thanks

Paul

when the engine is cold it sounds fine but as it warms up there becomes the
distinct sound of noisy tappets, which would make me think that I need to
increase the gap?
