When is the last time you adjusted your valve lash? Out of adjustment valves will tick pretty bad.

True that, i assumed it was 4t! Also if its a 150cc low oil will sound "ticky" too. If its a new bike the valves should be checked before 600mi and again before 2000mi

He has it in the 50cc thread... My guess is it's a 300i ;D

I think you got it on the valves tho. ;)
