[QUOTE="nikki, post: 733449, member: 18126"] We sold our '01 426 two years ago which was in tip top shape for $3,800 I believe. Knowing you're gonna dump $120 into the forks right away, and there has been 3 new model years since '01 and the change from the 426 to the 450, I would think maybe $2,600-$2,700? There is quite a few at [url]www.cycletrader.com[/url] for around $2,900-$3,000 (a few as low as $2,500). But the ticking noise would make me not purchase the bike until it's at least identified if not fixed. I doubt it's a valve problem. When the valves are out of spec, the first thing you'd notice is hard starting. If the bike starts okay, then there should be no valve ticking noise. When I hear the word "ticking", I usually think of the bottom end bearing having a little play.... if so, rebuilding the bottom end isn't too fun. [/QUOTE]
