I was checking my adjustable pushrods. When I noticed that on my front intake lifter I was able to push the push rod down a good amount. I check all other lifter and was unable to push them down.

Your lifters can bleed out and thus you get this situation. The only real way is to run for a while so you have good oil pressure and then see if they are still collapsed.

Did you hear them prior to this and then ended up checking? If you did not hear prior and are just checking I would assume 1 just bled down.(now 3)

The only real way of checking wheel is of course pulling lifters and inspecting, if a wheel rollers have gone away you also would have this, but it would feel different and the pushrod itself would have play in it

I rode the bike today. All is good. Minus I forgot to put o-rings back on the push rod covers...
