Inlet 0.13 - 0.18 mm
Exhaust 0.18 - 0.23 mm

Have you balanced the carbs?

Did you set them at TDC on the compression stroke?

Yes balanced they before, but will do it again. The bike runs properly now but sounds tappy.

Tighter clearances can make it sound quieter, doesn't mean it's running "better" though. My bike sounded way more tappety after having clearances done.

Also, +1 to carb balance. Smoothed out the idle and made it quieter.
