canada280i Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 It is because the chain is rubbing on the tensioner block.....hence the rubbing noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section swept Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Any or most trials bike will produce noise from the chain when it’s being pushed manually. Just make sure the tensioner isn’t bent, the hard rubber block should be in line with the chain. The chain should be on top of the block and the tensioner spring lifts the chain up. The block if worn can be obtained from one of the many parts suppliers on line or if you are handy you can make one to the same dimensions as the one installed already. The noise from the chain may also be because it is passing across the top of the swing arm and may mean the chain might need adjusting.
