Be sure you are using a metric feeler gauge, the intakes should be set between .10 and .15mm, not inches. This will likely solve your noise problem. If you use an inch based feeler they will rattle like rocks in a box.

The exhaust should be set between .20 and .25mm. If you ride hard or pull a load go with the looser of the settings on the exhaust valves. They tend to expand more with heat than the intake valves.

you got right rcw i have found a feeler gauge whit the right clearance my feeler gauge was in inch and centimeter but i'm not have to fix my valve again because i have fix intake at .006 in = 0.15 mm and exaust at .010 in = 0.25mm thanks for your help verry apriciate
