Hydro lifters never need adjusting, they sound like they do but there is nothing to adjust.

Which raises the question...What IS all that "valve train" noise if there is zero lash? When my neighbor converted his Bug to hyd. lifters it became MUCH quieter.

One of the reasons I bought a Buell in the first place! Less maintenance = more ride time. Of course still following the maint schedule.

Ridrx, if you want to hear noise, listen to a Buell with solid lifters.
