And Tiger... I would take the bike in under the warrenty and complaign about top end noise and the possible vlv problem. Then talk to the shop about diong the vlv adjustment while its there.

Only reason being the warrenty!

Hobby Shop FTW! It's great having access to a lift and air tools without buying them!

Excessive top end noise... make them do a leak down test to check the valve and the valve clearances. Then they will find the problems and have to at the very least adjust the valves.

Yea,that's what I think I'll do. I called the parts dept about the shims and found out they'll be about $100,then The valve cover gasket and o-rings,not to mention a metric feeler gage and any other tools I might need puts it at about half what they'll charge if I have them do it or zero if they can get Suzuki to pay for it. In this case,I think you're right.
