z is making a ticking noise??

i have a 03 z400 and its making a ticking noise, i got it fixed 2wice and then it started doing it again..what can it be??

It is either needs a valve adjustment or most likely a new timing chain.

he need s anew timing chain...happened to my friend on his kfx and took it in and it was te timing chain...yet to happen to mine

it isyour cam chain look at my tread titled z400 cam chain for more info good luck

most shim under bucket types have a tic to them, yes it could be the camchain but ive owned many machines for years never needing the camchain replaced ive found 20-50 oil helps and use a high grade oil , the ticking comes usualy from the exhaust side since the clearence is more due to heat and expansion,just check your bucket to cam clearence at least every 4-6 months.
