thanks for the post smb05.
Yes, it has rubbed since new. This is my second 150. The first one rubbed also but i only had that one for a month before i returned it because of a main bearing seal leak.
It has progressively dug deeper into the frame. I will check the shock mount. I have not put it up to what the wheels run, i was thinking of that but have not done it. I just think this whole issue is a bad design issue. It's was simply positioned too near the frame. The chain slapps around killing the frame etc. It's a grease factory around my chain. AHH that is why i love shaft drives!
The PVC idea is excellent and i will probably use that as a quick simple fix!

 

smb05,
I would like to see a picture of your pvc protector if you have time. I won't be able to do anything till after T-day. Mine isn't real bad but i would like it to be better.
Thanks tim

 

bakermon,

I up loaded the pics just waiting for approval. When my camera icon comes back just click on it. Look at the last three pics.

My Falcon Adult 250 rubbed from the get go and was bad. The VX-80 didn't start rubbing until the second time out in the woods beating it up. Hope that helps. Also, on my 250, the tentioner flipped around while I was on the trails and dug a hug hole in the swing arm. I just don't think the spring was built trail ready...very soft. SEADAWG

 

smb05,
Thanks for the pics. My dingo is rubbing an upright tube and a little of the gear box. If I can move the sprocket slightly to the right then I will be ok to put the pvc on the frame tube. Where as yours seems to be hitting from on top of the chain , mine is hitting on it's side.
Thanks again
