I Dnt think the line is the problem tbh as it's touching frame at bottom I mean I can do engine conversions in cars gearboxes head gaskets etc just never touched a bike only rode them but clever enough to know it's not an out of line problem I'd say more chain stretched or no rubber chain slip people keep saying
Ok originally they was straight out but then the noise came I've took them up to were they are but noise still there.maybe not as much when take the bike off the stand as when on stand.maybe the bike had the rubber guide originally when purchased and fell off dwn field Wich gave the noise an made the snails move up more not a clue tbh.
I had the bike probably bout 6 mnths been on it twice was sound had it in bedroom for a month or so got it out went dwn road onto field as come off field jump up and onto carpark an notice a rattle on chain when looked the chain was running on frame.
In this picture the snail.pointer now faces up before the noise started it was were my finger is
Chain can't be to tight.the more I loosen the worse it is. It basically set so when turn the snails the tensioner lowers to.1.5 cm and the snails are just biting on the swing arm any looser they Dnt touch the swing arm
You said in my first picture I have a screw missing.with picture are.you looking at cos the first is from underneith the bike and I can't see any holes for a screw to be missing as I've never touched one before
I'll one on because the other thing have noticed is before chain rattled the snail lugs on the wheel was straight out the back since the noise came I tried getting chain to a tension but now the snail lugs point up not out back if you get what am saying as if originally there was something that fell off an now the wheel adjusters go further round before tension is pulled on the chain
So they Dnt have them standard.
wouldn't of thought from factory chain would rattle on frame.so there as to be an underlining problem somewhere as never did the noise when first got it just come off field and noticed it sounding ruff.
I'll go buy a rubber guide see if makes a difference also I'll order new chain and sprockets
This is what am saying all the pics of 2003 2005 2006 I'm zooming in on to try see if they have or haven't look to me like they haven't and that rubber bit came out in 2013 on the newer bikes
What for a 2004 model as the gas gas manual doesn't say it has that part on my year an all the ones I seen on net zooming in for detail Dnt seem to have the rubber pad and I.Dnt know.anyone with a gas gas to check there's mines the chrome frame pro.
Chain was rubbing on tensioner when purchased the bike as had slight bend. since as been.straightened.
The 04 parts manual doesn't list any frame rubber chain guide they seem to be 2013 models that have the rubber guide hence protectors
