I WAS OUT DRIVEING MY 03 SCRAMBLER 500 AND HEARD A SOUND I NEVER HEARD BEFOR MOST OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS WHEN DESELERATING IN REVERSE AND SOMETIMES IN FORWARD ITS LIKE A PINGING SOUND ITS HARD TO DESCRIBE. I HAVE CHECKED CHAIN TENSION MANY TIMES I AM SURE I HAVE IT RIGHT.IS THIS COMMON?

 

do you lube your chain every ride?it might even be the chain guard my buddies was making some noise on his..

 

I've had small pieces of gravel get between the chain and guard before.

 

If you plan on doing any jumping, get a chain tensionor. It will solve the problem of the tension getting lose when jumping and also does away with the chain guide. Solved a lot of my chain problems

 

I had a noise on my Trailboss and Scrambler, all it was on mine is that the chain gaurd came a little loose and it made a rather loud noise. hope you figure it out.

THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT GUYS. TRAILBLAZER I SEEN THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TO THE BADLANDS I LIVE ABOUT 3 HOURS AWAY FROM THE BADLANDS IS IT WORTH THE DRIVE? ALSO DO YOU NO OF ANY OTHER OFF ROAD PARKS IN INDIANA?

 

i think you were talking bout me about the Badlands. Anywho, I think it is worth the drive. There are many types of terrain, dunes(pea gravel), mud, wooded trails, etc..... Also, its a far drive, I haven't been there yet but my friends have. They say it is great. it is Haspin Acres. You can find all the info you need here. www.haspinacres.com. Hope I was some help.
