  1. Hi Fellow Forum Members, yes I’m a Newbie (so be kind… lol). Within the past 2 years I’ve started riding, acquiring and repairing Honda ATVs. I’m “self teaching” how to repair them from YouTube. I currently have 4 (three Foreman = ‘02-‘04 TRX400FW & TRX450FM 4x4 and one ‘98 Recon TRX250 2X4). My question: Is it normal for Hondas “to tick”? All three Foremans have ticking sound… valves have been adjusted (compression improved but ticking persists). Any suggestions as to other causes or fixes? Video/audio of ‘04 TRX400FW is attached. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! FullSizeRender.MOV
  2. Yes, I’m a Newbie to this forum, (so be kind… lol). I’ve owned my ‘03 250 4x4 for 2 years… had to do a top end rebuild when first acquired. I’ve also had to adjust the valves twice already and they need adjusting again. I only ride periodically because the ATV is at a vacation home and not used year round. My question: Is it normal to have to adjust the valves every year? I recently adjusted the valves this past summer and now the compression is 35psi (with no start). I just started riding off road and am “self teaching” repairs from YouTube. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
