I wasn't sure what section to post this in, so if the mods want to move thats fine. I have a 2000 400ex that I need fixed. Any one want to look at it for me? Here is the deal with it: The bike has always had a ticking sound to it, everyone said it was normal for the 400ex. The bike ran fine, until I was riding with my son (not riding hard), then that ticking became very loud. I parked the bike and looked to see if I could find anything visually. No luck. I try to retart it and it wouldn't start. So I do some research and pull the valve cover and determine that it was a broken timing chain tensioner. It would start due to being out of time! So I replace the tensioner and get it back in time or at least I think. Well it won't start. Turns over and pops some but won't fire up. Its getting gas and has spark. I don't have the means or the knowledge to figure this out. sounds like its still out of time but I am at a loss. I have tried so many times to get it in time with no luck. So is anyone willing to work on it for me? I will pay but I don't have a lot of money. Thanks.
