mine is brand new and it ticks....since the 1st time i rode it. Should it be adjusted??? Thought it was normal?

I can't remember the exact hours, but if you bought a brand new quad from the dealership, they should include a free valve check after a few hours of riding on the quad.

Some 400ex's do tick. Mine did and then I replaced the cam with a stage 2 hotcam and I adjusted the valves myself and I hardly hear it now.

Here is an article on how to check your valves.
