Rattling sound when riding...

[YamahaBlaster2k]

What is that rattling sound when I drive by? Could that be the chain hitting the frame?

I know that the white chain guide right next to the small sprocket isn't firmly in place. Also, should there be a chain roller right below the guide for the chain to rest on?

I have never herd that sound. But i do have a chain roller on mine so i guess that could be it.

there should be a roller on the frame above, and below the chain

didn't watch the vid, but check the swingarm skid plate,
mine like to get bent up and the chain will ride on it and actually cut thru it, = premature chain failure.

Good point ! That is exactly what it sounds like as it constant!

My rattling when I first bought mine was from the skid plate under the roter. It was bent & starting to rub thru. Just lift up the rear & spin the tires you should be able to find it.
