Hi. If the valve was slightly sticky, it's unlikely that the bushes are badly worn. Likewise, it didn't rattle before you took it apart, I assume?
So, are you sure the bush on the far end of the valve - as fitted - didn't drop off the spindle when you reinstalled it? Also, did you refit the end float spring behind the pulley.
Basically, take it all apart again and check the fit of the bushes and visually inspect the spindle for wear. It's hardened part but they can wear if not regularly serviced. From the description you gave of your bike, though, it sounds like it's had the EXUP cared for properly.
