hey guys,
I took the 400 out for an afternoon ride at my friends hunting lease, and i noticed in 3-5 gear, when you are on the throttle there is a clicking noise, It sounds like it could be the valves, but heres my question:
If the valves are out of spec, and make the clicking sound, will you hear it when the quad is setting and idling? will you hear it in all gears? high RPMs?
because when its in neutral and idling it sounds perfect, when you rev it up no clicking, when your going fast in 3-5th its there.
Im unsure of the actual valve clicking sounds because ive never had my valves click on other quads....
I think maybe it could be something loose somewhere that makes the clicking sound, but i just put brand new expensive oil in it ride before the ride so im hesitant to dump it and adjust the valves if thats not the clicking.....
info on my quad:
-stock motor
-FMF pipe
-K&N
-42/158 jets
-mobil 1 synthetic 15w50
-new plug, oil, gas, battery as of yesterday.
