    It could be I am paranoid since so many issues have come up on this build I dont want anything to happen to it. the clunking is slightly louder then the exhaust when you lean down towards the bike but when I am on and riding its not so bad and i noticed if I hold the throttle a little it gets less.

    It is prolly just the sounds of the cams since nothing is like stock. I just gotta dial in the timing a little more and I will prolly be good to go. I know its not right because after about 20 mins of riding i get some smoke out of breather. I know there is will be some but I can smell it getting hotter then normal. prolly too lean on top end still

    now my other question is how can i adjust primary without sound method because i honestly cannot hear it any more over that noise... and i dont want it too tight or to loose. can you measure bolt length to get it close ?

    You can't adjust by measuring it.

    That noise it that loud? Perhaps you need to post a better video. I can clearly hear my primary even at idle sitting at a stop light.

    Yeah mine is pretty loud, which was why I don't think this time its just paranoid. I will try to use my camera instead of my phone and see if the quality gets any better. yeh I used to be able to hear the guide touch the chain but now I cannot. its weird. wish you guys lived closer to me I got no blast members local to me lol

    I have that same click/knock, can't hear it in my video. I've had it for YEARS.
