Hey guys im new here. I have 2011 xmr 800r and a 2011 650 xt.
My wife 650 has a solid tick noise that i have somewhat pin pointed down to the front jug. Seems like the noise is at camshaft speed. I removed primary clutch (stock) thinking that this was where the noise was from orignally but still is there. I have rechecked the valve lash and is set properly at 004 and 006 cold. Also removed chains and inspected guides they are in good shape and threads are 5 showing on tentioners. It seems as the bike warms up the noise fades slightly but is most proment at idle. Add some throttle and it seems to go away. I did noice the rockers have side to side play which when i rock back and for seem to be close to the sound im hearing. I know they need some side to side play just unsure of how much side to side is to much. I know these bike do have some piston slap but i dont think thats the noise im hearing. Any other input of what i can check before i start tearing motor down to see if its a rod knock or something else
Thanks bike has 7100http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5a92d004...4881806937.mp4

So silly mistake. But has anyone used a stock bore head gasket for a can am 800 on their 840 bbk. Put a new head on my unit and grabbed a head gasket off the shelf just to find out I still have the 840 one on the shelf.....

can anyone tell me the difference of the 850 and the 850 sp? and is it worth the extra $1500? Thanks

I have a Sportsman 500 that sometimes get stuck in low gear. This seems to happen between low and reverse.

I am still running stock tires on my XP 550. Found a good deal on some lightly used Pit Bull Growlers. The stocks are 26-8-14/26-10-14. The pit bulls are 26-9-14/26-11-14. Will I have any issue going slightly wider on the stock wheels ?

I just bought this scrambler yesterday and I have found a cut line, looks like maybe a cable is supposed to go through it, runs from under the gas tank to a item on the front of the motor that has another line that runs to the carb, did this have something to do with the oil injection? That has been deleted. Thing runs great, cold start is hard. It I know how to fix that. Just trying to restore this so it will be solid, thx for any and all help
