MY 2005 EX and my bros 2003 both tick loudly but i guess thats normal
Thats got nothing to do with this problem, your bikes probably need a valve adjustment.
I bought a 2000 honda 400ex yesterday. I was draning the oil lastnight and i put it all back together. i Went riding on the back of my friends atv. woke up this morning and forgot to put oil back in it. i was riding it. and it lost aloooot of power. It was really hot then i herd all my rods and things started knocking. I went back to the truck after i realized what had happened and put oil in it. Then i ran it for a while idiling. and seemed to be doing all good again but im getting this loud ticking noise. I dont kno what to do. Should i buy the 417 kit and just get the whole top end rebuilt? run it till it dont run nomore? i really dont kno. Help please
Yeah, that sucks. Whole thing needs to be rebuilt. I would just try to find a used engine on ebay and drop it in. Lot less hassle.
KX250 is running good btw, new spark plug and it cranks up 1st kick with no starter fluid
