400EX brand new..........ticking
#1
My EX is 3 days old and has about 5 hours on it, was riding it last night and noticed a slight ticking like a valve tap, called my dealership today and they said that it is charisitic <--spelling of the machine that when they adjust the valves after the 20 hr break in that it sometimes gets louder! Is this normal for my 400EX? Not a violent tap but it is audiable. Does anyone elses do it?
Also can't decide betweem a big gun system or a white bro's pipe which provides more HP which is louder? Want people to hear me comming , not my valves.
Also have to confess that i have been riding a little hard what is considered an acceptable break in, I have been doing a lot of wheelies 1st and 2nd gear, peg the throttle but not for longer then 2-4 sec am I being to hard on it?
Sorry so long. Thankx
