i searched and this seems to be a common problem with 400exs.
mine only ticks at idle. ive heard answers from cam chain, to valves, to rocker arms, to the exhaust not fitting right. ive heard a lot of things. i wanna know the right answer. lol i hope its the valves, my dad is an experienced mechanic and can do that himself, so i dont need to spend any money. lol.
any ideas on what it could be?
i also heard its "normal" for a 400ex to make this sound and to not to be worried.

Did you remove the phillips head bolt from the center of the cam chain tensioner , and try turning the tensioner screw with a small flat blade screwdriver to tighten the cam chain ... If the noise gets quiet you may need a new tensioner if the chain won't tighten anymore you may need a new cam chain ..
