Hey this is my first time on a forum asking a question but I just bought a 2013 foreman 500 Manuel shift 4x4 and it runs great no smoke no other noise but when it’s at operating temp it has a not consistent ping/tick and goes away with any amount of throttle barely rest your thumb on the throttle it goes away completely. Fresh oil change 299 hours on it

First I would check the exhaust heat shield. See if any clips are broken. I've had them rattle and sound like a little end. Next check your valve clearances. Can get a little rattle from them. See how you get on and let us know.
