Alittle help with valves

[hinow41]

I just did a valve adjustment on my bike last night, put all the plastics on today and took it out for a ride and well /cry. Something is messed up. Idk but it kind of sounds like a chain thats loose (If that makes sense to anyone) The exhaust sounds a bit funny too. It will run fine and then sounds like 2 burps as it goes. Gonna go back to pulling everything off again. Any help would be Very appreciated

I would just make sure that the valves arent too tight. a little loose is better than over tight. Is it a chain sound or more of a valve tap sound?

Loose timing chain?

first off what kind of bike it it? and what kind of vavle setup does it have? (shim or screw adjusters) if its shim you may have set the timming wronge or the chain tention is too loose? also did you do anything else?

thanks for the reply the bike is an 06 katana 600 with 500 miles on it. To do the adjustment its a screw. Iv been riding the bike and it rides fine, Idk maybe im not used to the regular engine noise on a 4 cyl bike. Just stepped up from a ninja 250.

I4 motorcycle engines are pretty noisy, more so with the oil cooled motors.
