That tick,tick,tick is most likely the junk cam chain tensioner system! The local Suzuki dealer has a new style tensioner similar to a 450R which is longer to take up the slack.

are you sure? im not saying your wrong but i did check the tension in the chain and it was still pretty good and if you watch the exhaust cam while cranking the engine over with the valve cover off every time the lobe hits the valve is when it ticks. the quad still runs really good it just ticks rediculously loud

I HAD THE SAME TROUBLE!!!!!!!!

Go get a mechanical tensioner and tighten it with the fingers and the tic tic tic goes away. Then loosen it till the tic starts again then a half turn in. It will work! I swear!
