No freebies here, but you can do a quick search and find some good service manuals from www.midwestmanuals.com for about $8. A good deal considering the paper versions can run $30+.

Have an 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 has spark with key off and no spark when key is on

Sounds like you have a bad igntion switch or other electrical gremlin somewhere. If this is something you bought like this, then I would get a service manual with a wiring diagram and ensure the wires on the key switch are in the right positions.

Loud ticking noise coming from motor

This is probably tappet noise from the top end of the engine. However you should have it looked at quickly as these engines had a severe problem with oil sludging, even when recommended services were done.
This caused all sorts of problems, so see if you can get it fixed before the engine develops something terminal.

Load ticking noise upper end of motor

Buckndoe91,
A loud ticking noise in the upper end of the engine is probably a bad piston. If you are mechanically inclined you will be able to loosen the head bolts and take a peak at the top of the pistons. If you do take off the head be prepared to replace the gaskets even if the piston(s) is/are not bad. Also, make sure you are running the right spark plug. I have seen cases where people put to deep of a plug and it hits the top of the piston.

In any of these situations you should see a loss of power.

Good luck

1989 vt1100c motor oil to reduce engine ticking

20W-50 is good for muffling sounds in the motor. Depending on the loudness the ticking could be caused by Exhaust gaskets (o-rings) from the head to the head pipe(ticking sound ((at idle))and popping or backfiring on deceleration). When automatic cam chain adjusters are going bad you get a clicking sound, or worse, hydraulic valve lifters (for zero tolerance) going bad. Lifters tend to be a loud clacking sound.
