I`m not familiar with this machine but off hand sounds like timing or valve adjustment problem. Does it give you any fault codes? Are you the original owner?

You need to check to see if its getting fire. Pull your spark plug and put the plug wire back on the plug if you can place it close to a metal part of the quad turn it over and see if you have spark you should see a spark from the plug. Make sure the ticking is not from it being low on oil. Do you know if it over heated? Do you know how many hours is on the quad?
