There is a dealer here is advertising a big red with the 675 engine...2013. Says there is a tick like a cam lobe or arm. What are your thoughts? Are there plenty of available parts to fix. The price seems very reasonable...

I agree with @JTW . Parts might be easy to find and the price might seem good. But do you want to ride a rig or work on a rig. I'm thinking you'd be buying someone else's problem they traded in to the dealer.

Google "Rincon tick". That engine is notorious for it. Consensus is that it's the decompression device or sometimes the cam chain tensioner. Could just need a valve adjustment. Or could be about to explode!

Kinda have to listen to it and make a judgement call.

Thanks for the input. I thought headache myself, but for 5000 less than I have found one...I thought maybe.
If it's free go for it. The dealer should fix it.

Hi, That's a great price. Other than the tick you may want to add back panel to knock dust down. It's a bargain with all the add ons and the Big Red is a workhorse. Good Luck.
