04 pred ticking
I have a 2004 predator, and a couple days ago i took it out to ride it, and I heard a ticking in the engine. It sounds kinda like a lifter tick in a car, and I was wondering if it could be a loose valve? Has anyone else had this problem. I think I'm probably well over my initial oil change interval. Would an oil change possibly take care of that?

Not to say you don't have a potential problem, but Polaris engines make a lot of trashy noise. I got over it a while ago, but when it started, I was really worried. My 500 H.O. has a loud engine knock at idle, but it goes away when you hit the throttle. Type a search for "knock", or something similar, and see how many posts you come up with. You'll feel better when you realize they all make noise.

The point isn't to say the motor is no good, it is to get the very thin oil out. It is only supposed to be used for a short period of time, and then you can put in the real oil and run it for 10 hrs before you change it again. I am correct on this, my dealer told me to do this, so I'm sure it is right.
