there was a slight ticking in my 05 400ex so i checked my valve clearance and set them to my service manuals specs. after starting the bike it seems like the ticking is worse, i know there known to tick but this doesnt seem right. the bike only has like 40 hrs and the valves where set very close from the factory. any ideas anyone ?

I got an 06' and it ticks alot. it just seems to be the 400EX valve train.

Make sure you adjusted the valves cold and set them to spec and you should be fine. They all tick.
