1st Quad and !st Honda. Have always rode Harleys and needed a family machine.
I have a new 05 trx500fe. with about 200kms on it.
as i get over 80 km there is a sound like pinging or valve noise.
not just the normal ticking they all have.
i have only tried this once. most of my time is spent riding around with my daughter
valves have not been adjusted
Thanks for any input.
is this normal? or is it valve float?
any input will be appreciated.
Thanks

is it supposed to sound like the pushroods are going to fly out at top speed? engine seems noisey at upper rpms.
top speed so far 53.
