I purchased a 07 Vulcan 900 classic several months ago and have already had the valves adjusted at 2000 miles and now at 4700 miles am hearing excessive valve noise again. Has anyone experienced similar problems with this unit.

That's one thing you can depend on. V-twin motors are noisy. People who are bothered by it install aftermarket exhaust systems, so they can't hear all the racket.
If you want a quiet engine, you have to buy one made to close tolerances. If the operators manual says you can use anything heavier than 10W30 oil in it, it's guaranteed to be made to loose tolerances.

I too just purchased an 07 Vulcan 900 classic. It's brand new and I've put 400 miles on it so far. There is a noticeable tick when you back off the throttle, not sure if yours does the same. From what I've read, it's when you don't hear it that you should be worried. That the tolerances tighten up over time and THAT is what needs to be adjusted. I'm a newbie, so maybe someone could clarify if I've mispoken.
