I pulled the rod and it seemed pretty straight. The movement is in the actual rocker arm. I took off the rocker block, but there wasn't anything in there that I could adjust, so I just put it back on.

When I kicked the bike over while off, that pinging noise I heard is gone. Yay! Gonna go start her up now and take her for a spin to see how she does  .

I just took her for a spin and she seemed pretty ok! I did notice that the valves? seemed a little loud, but maybe I just wasn't paying that much attention to them the other day.

I am now officially a happy camper! Thanks, guys, for all the help. Kim

Glad to hear it.

""Sounds like" the bedding in of the valve train is complete then.
