I think I need to adjust my pushrods. Super loud clanking/ticking at idle. Anyone have any tips/tricks to doing this? My old s2 didnt have adjustable p.rods. Thanks!

So what do you have different? Just so you know all the aftermarket stuff is much noisier than stock--cams, pushrods, etc. My 1250 S-2 with Redshift cams, Jims lifters and rockers, adj pushrods was so noisy compared to stock it was scary.

The bikes got edelbrock heads, crane cams (unsure of specs), and crane adjustable pushrods.

I did a pushrod adjustment according to literature last night and it didn't get any better. I never minded the noise in the first place, sounds really mechanical.
