[coffliehead]

its ur timing chain man honest to good look at my vid i have the same bike and that happend to me

[codybrandonrobertson]

i have the exact same fourwheeler that made the exact same noises! i took it to the shop and found i out it was a piston slap, i had to get the bike bored out with a new piston and all new rings and ceals! now it runs like a dream!

[highwaystar148]

mine has done that for 3 years

[druryt]

[paulpipito]

o meu fourtrax  fazia a mesma coisa ! isso e vauvula do motor !

[MrSwitchFool]

all older hondas have a little tick to them arnt they supposed to i mean not that bad but there is a little ticking sound all the ones i ever seen did anyways including my own 04 350

[501video501]

is this cattrax from t man?

[boompwnd]

my 2001 350 does the same thing, dont know whats wrong with it tho

[kaydblkay]

that meens you put to much strain on it and you propably over rev it. thats what happened to my 420

[cattrax320]

@kaydblkay yup, i never heard my 350 redline so thats not it

[56retoocs]

could be ur valves

[JISINSANE3]

I hate hondas. Get a yamaha, Banshee for one and a 4x4 for a second toy.

[TheBikerecker]

timeing chain

[Gr8sk8terboi]

water got in your hoses

[tylerjjob]

hi did you find out what was wrong with this as i have the same quad but a 2006 and it does the same and i dont really know alot about engines and also is your oil in it the right colour as i got water in mine at it went white ever since it has made this noise

[cattrax320]

@tylerjjob ..yea i found out what was wrong, cam chain and tensioners needed to be replaced

[shmuckseason]

@cattrax320 how do i get to the cam chain and tensiners where are they located could u make a vid or somthing pleeeease

[muddybuscoman350cc]

@cattrax320 now i know what to do cause myne is making the same noise and its anoying

[mufflerbearin]

@cattrax320 it dont have a cam chain or tensnior ''its got push rods and cam kinda like a v8.

[tylerjjob]

how much did it cost you?

[cattrax320]

it was $246 canadian

[TeamVodafone888And88]

When you thrash the Fourtrax they have been known to jump the timing chain off. and then well valves and things get stuffed. do you ride it very hard???

[TheTerminator310]

@TeamVodafone888And88 I ride hard on occasions, sometimes going as far as over 50, but not for long of course. I take care of the engine. I change the oil every 3,000 miles (as reccomended). But these machines are meant to be rode hard anyway. It's made this sound ever since it was brand new out of the box. And, these engines have timing chains? I thought these engines worked off of pushrods.

[cattrax320]

they have small chains, you have to take the front of the motor apart to get at it. almost all hondas make a low ticking noise all of the time, but this is baddd

[TheTerminator310]

Yeah, mine doesn't do it nearly as bad as your's.

[cattrax320]

can't complain tho, 2001 with 16000 km's on it, and they weren't all easy either

[TheTerminator310]

@cattrax320 I have 6,400 Miles on mine. I'm not sure if you know how much that is, because you go by Kilometers. But mine has been rode hard also and it still purs like a kitten.

[TheTerminator310]

I have one of those bike's, and something rattles in the engine big time over 40 m.p.h. Does anyone know what causes that?

[Resinat0r]

well...im not no pro and this migt no be it .. but are there any loose bolts or somthing? like a loose muffler guard or anything lik that?

[TheTerminator310]

@Resinat0r No loose bolts. I know lots of people who have the 350 fourtrax and their's do the same thing. Every 350 I have ever seen does it. I'm clueless as to what it is. But the engine runs perfect, it's just a loud noise at 40 or over.

[MrAllenoop]

i myself have two of those bikes there strong as heck but that sound is the timming chain slaping against the case

[cattrax320]

that will be a big job to fix

[cattrax320]

is there a tensioner on the 350's??

[jdshaq]

valves

[Resinat0r]

valves

[cattrax320]

im almost positive its the timing chain

[tipp98cRT]

i have the same quad and it makes the same noise,but it also has 21661km on it!!!!
