up your oil change intervals and run with a thicker synthetic oil 10-40 or 20-50... all depends on your build, riding conditions and temperature

I got the same prob when my engine is hot and i run a 15W 50.
It has 20 hours now was wandering if the valve clearance adjustment will stop it.
How early you have to adjust it with new camshaft?
