TOPIC: Is valve noise normal for these bikes

Is valve noise normal for these bikes 11 months 1 week ago #1

Hi everyone, I only have 450 miles on my bike and it seems to be running fine but I notice a lot of valve noise. Just want to see if this is normal for these bikes

Thanks for the replies. I don't mind the noise I think I'm being a little paranoid because the bikes was a leftover and I'm worried something bad is going to happen. I appreciate that there are a lot of helpful people on this forum
