I just did my first valve check on my 2017 350sxf, I double checked everything was good before I put it back together, but for the first few seconds of running there was a very loud rattle from the valvetrain. It sounded normal after that. Was it just lack of oil pressure initially? I don't really want to pull it apart again to look.
Cheers

I’ve heard it’s louder when you start bike until the oil gets pushed up there.

Did you touch the cam chain or tensioner at all? I would go with lack of oil would cause chattering for the first start up. Does it sound fine now?
