Re: At the mechanics shop

it really depends on how far out of whack your valves were as to whether or not you should read or experience different sounds coming from the engine. If they were close, then you shouldn't notice anything different at all. If they were really too loose or too tight, then you should have noticed some issues getting the bike started, that have now vanished. Are you sure it's not just in your head?

Is it an actual thumping that you hear, out of the exhaust, or are you hearing knocking in the engine? It could be that those guys set it wrong. It has happened before in the wide world of bikes.
