Are the valves too loose?

Are the clicking noises normal for the bike or are the valves are loose? I just did a valve adjustment to the recommended spec of 0.03 mm for intake and 0.05 mm for exhaust. I look online and some other people's DLX sound like this so I'm not too sure🤷‍♂️

Engine Stalling

Just bought a hawk 250 dlx efi. While not rolling on the throttle at all, is it normal for the bike to stall no matter how slowly I disengage the clutch? Must I always roll on the throttle when going through the friction zone in order to not stall? I know some bikes can take off (slowly) just by releasing the clutch lever slowly regardless of throttle use.

Best Online Store

Been looking at getting one, just want a simple enduro box to go have some fun on. Also, want to get upto speed on motorcycle maintenance, although I’m not a novice at vehicles as I work on my own cars, but bikes are all new to me. Got my license a few years ago and just never got around to buying a bike so want something to basically learn and mess around on before spending big bucks on something bigger… $2k is still $2k but I don’t think I’ll be as bothered dropping that bike all that much compared to one over $10k.

Where is the best place to get one online that won’t have issues getting all the right paperwork to get it registered. Also what to go with, I’m 6’3” and 220lbs so i want something plenty tall enough it won’t look like I’m riding a monkey bike. Also I know I’m not going to get 70 with my weight and height but pottering around at 55-60 without it sounding like it’s straining for life suits me just fine.

Advice/help

Hey guys I need some guidance, last week my 2024 1300mi ran fine, no issues. I go to do an oil change yesterday before the new really hot weather comes in and it won’t stay idling, I didn’t do anything different or new during the oil change. It only stays running if I give it constant throttle, also sounds like it backfires so I’m not really sure what to try.

I used t6 and just picked up a jug of T4 to try out with a brand new NGK, gonna pull the gas line and see if it’s flowing or not. 28mm nibbi as well.

Valves were adjusted a little over three weeks ago now. Thanks for your help!
