Last year my 84 began making a lot of valve noise. It was suggested to me to change the oil a few times, and flush out the engine.I took it upon myself to add Lucas Oil as well. This all happened in the fall, so I didn't get to ride much after I did this.

If anyone is wondering, it worked great! I'm changing my oil every 2000 kms ( A little excessive I agree ) but the thing purrs like a kitten.

For those who offered me advise, it was greatly appreciated.

Cheers to all.

Well done Grant. Sticky lifters is common enough on the 1200. For some reason you don't hear about this on the 1500.
