Why is my primary chain making a noise?
Do this 2-3 times in succession and you’ll notice that the noise that you thought was the valve train is almost completely gone now. Low speed riding is a bit smoother also due to less play in the chain. By doing this, the automatic primary chain will ratchet up a bit tighter if it was loose before this.

Why does my bike chain make a squeaking noise?
One common constant squeaker is a poorly lubricated chain. Solution: Inspect yours. If the rollers are dry and shiny, apply drip or spray lube. On extra dry ones it may take a while for the substance to penetrate and silence the noise. Then keep the chain quiet by lubing it every 2 weeks. Always wipe off the excess to minimize sludgy build-up.

LakeTapps, Wa. Most likely your buttons/o-rings are worn…..the buttons get grooves worn in the side where they seat into the governor cup. Also, excessive slop in arms, either bushing-to-pin or side to side will make noise.
