Probaly normal, but if you find that the valves are getting loose between adjustments, causing the extra noise, then you have a problem with the roller followers and you need to fix it ASAP. I have found that Delo 400 oil prolongs their life considerably compared to Mobil 1R4T in my 501 and no problems as yet in my 07 650.

if it's a pre 2004 it may well be a cam follower bearing. itherwise it's a tappet you need to have a look at.

oh

IMHO of course!
