Well i just got my 96 kodiak fixed and and tuned up. Since i have had this machine around last summer it has had a slapping ticking sound and i believe it is the timing chain and i was wondering if there is anything i can do to make the noise go down or lessen the sound of it,or should i just get a new chain and have someone put it on. The sounds just gets on my nervs after awhile so anyone have any ideas???

 

Most have a slack adjuster that you can check to see if it can be tightened up. Try to get a manual so you can read up and see if your chain has stretched enough it needs replaced. Also how to retension it properly.
