So I've got a 2016 rancher 420 with 54.4 hours on it. I went to Japan for 6 months and left it with my buddy. When I got back I found out it was messed up. It was smoking super bad. It only takes about 10 seconds for it to start.
So here's what I've done to fix it.
I've replaced the head and all the seals twice, gapped the valves, and checked the piston rings by pouring oil on top of it while the h3qd was off and waited a few days. The level never moved so I'm assuming the seals are good. The walls weren't scarred at all. It ticks loud as hell too. More than the normal "Honda tick." I've had some people mention the crank bearing but I'm not sure. I've read through about 50 forums about this. I read about excess in the tailpipe and needing to burn it out but I haven't done that yet. I also replaced the oil filter and made sure it was in right. Just looking for some advice on what it could be. I'm looking to sell it cause I don't ride it anymore. I just wanna get it right before I sell it so I can get full asking price. Thanks in advance for the help!
