- 10174505The drive chain guard rattles while riding. There is a gap between the drive chain guard and rear arm bracket even when the mounting bolts are tightened. This allows the drive chain guard to move and make a rattling noise due to engine vibration and road conditions. To prevent the rattling noise the factory has developed a rubber damper to absorb the drive chain guard vibration.
