Default Excessive Tappet Noise
I have a 2018 Road King with a 107 engine, between 2000 & 2200 rpm's there is excessive tappet noise. In every other rpm there is no noise. Does anyone else experience this problem?

Do the newer bikes still benefit from shimming the rocker arms to a tighter clearance?
