2 things, having checked my valve clearances at 3 1/2 hours from a hot engine and then 7, there was no change in clearances.
I've been out today. I don't believe that the new air filter and plugs would have made a discernible difference. Both the old plugs and air filter were far from being desperate for a change.
Initially the bike felt a little crisper. Later on, riding familiar roads at 60+ mph I found myself comfortably holding 3rd gear where before I'd have felt inclined to engage 4th. So it's smoother as the rev's rise of that I'm sure. I still get a familiar tingle through the seat though.
