Unhappy valve clearance.

Hi All.


Having just had my valve clearances checked and adjusted today.
The bike is now more noisey from the engine. Almost like an old push rod ford fiesta rattle! ok not that loud but you know what i mean. I went straight back to the mechanic to complain and he asured its quite normal and the clearances are correct. Also the bike will get quieter after a few miles as. I did have them checked @ 16k rather than 12k miles. have i damaged it in any way? or is the mechanic talking nonsence?.
Or am i worrying about nothing?
