I've done a search on valvetrain noise but no posts with my problem. I have 18K on my bike & I just started getting lifter/valvetrain noise in front cylinder after sitting all night. After 3-4 minutes it quiets down. It's an intermittent thing. Leaking down, bad lifter? Normally it's pretty quiet, no biggie, but bothers me..

 

change the oil, see if it goes away , if not try a little marvel mystey oil .
that old stuff really works on cleaning sludge /varnish out of engines..
if that doesnt work , then replaced the lifters, after confirming that you have adequate oil pressure to them

 

Hey, heybaylor, thanks for tips, will give it a try. Thanks.
