Thats when you want to check them. The gap closes up (gets quieter) as time goes by.

Set them to the widest spec. Properly adjusted it sounds like the engine is gonna fly apart but that's where it'll run best.Originally posted by vedgar View PostGreg

Bent Exhaust Valve
I had the exact same experince with one of my XS750s I purchased with 18k miles on it.
Hadn't been run in years.....#2 Exhaust Valve bent slightly...no evidence of collision with piston or intake valve....cam timing correct.....
Eventually I noticed some chewed up links in the cam chain, thankfully as I was still assembling it. I think in my case the cam chain might have worn loose from not being adjusted, then it slipped, and someone put it back. It's all I could guess after looking at the parts.
In your case, we all don't imagine a loose chain at 2200 miles.
We're all looking forward to hearing that it's running again. It's way too beautful to sit in the garage unused.-Mike

Running great now
carbs dialed in .Took pics of timing marks as not to second guess myself if something did not seem right. I can look at the pics and at least verify the timing is spot on .
