To be completely honest, I couldn't tell you any difference in riding. The motor sounds right, pulls hard, pops the front up (TCS off) and all of that, no issues during riding. The ONE time I stalled it at a stop before, I was pressing the tip of my cramp buster sort of like a child pushing a doorbell - repeatedly and softly, so it choked the motor out.
I threw away the cardboard I wrote my lashes on, but it was within the 0.26-0.30mm on the exhaust side, after shimming.
I will say that when I rebuilt my 81 XV920, I had the front cylinder's cam off by one tooth and it was noticeable at idle (surging as the motor tried catching up to the mismatched mechanical timing) but that was an easy fix. On the Tracer, I ziptied the cam chain to the intake sprocket since I wasn't removing it, and then put a sharpie mark to a rivet on the exhaust cam. It is too hot out in the garage to poke around aimlessly, so I am trying to get a list of things to check when I pull the tank.
I am leaning heavily towards a vacuum/intake leak, but I will grab a vacuum gauge and check the TB sync as well.
