New here and looking for some knowledge/advice. I will try and keep this short and simple.
Bought a used 2013 420 a few weeks ago and everything has been great. Rode it Sunday for about 2-3 hours and the bike ran perfect. Started it Monday night and it had a noticeable tick while idling. Tick seems to go away when at higher RPMs and the bike still runs great, plenty of power, no smoke etc… Did a little research and decided to check the valves. Valves are set correctly. Pulled the motor off the bike, pulled the cylinder and everything looks great. Removed front cover to inspect the cam chain/tensioner and both are in great shape. Played around spinning the crank by hand and trying to listen for sounds and i noticed that the exhaust side cam follower ticks when it hits the decompressor cam on the camshaft. Could that be the problem? I took a video of the ticking and a picture of the wear pattern the cam follower is leaving on the decompressor.
I am all ears for potential solutions, any help is greatly appreciated!
