I've noticed lately that my bike is clicking rather loud when I let off the gas even just a bit after I get up to cruising speed. It stops when I give a bit of throttle or speed up. This is getting really annoying. My mechanic adjusted the pushrods and it seemed to help for a while, but it has started back.
Can anyone give me some insight on what is going on? I'm considering changing out my SE 258 cams for a cam with less lift to gain more torque at lower rpm's. Would this help with the noisy valvetrain?
