rear end noise

[81 clark racing]

ok i adj my chain lubed it and when i put around in my drive way first gear not givng it throttle i can hear a knocking griding sort of sound.the sound its making sounds like when the chain is hitting the skid plate,its coming from the rear end. i took my rear skid off and case saver so i no its not rubbing on that. any ideas on what this may be?

[Ruby Soho]

it could be the chain rubbing on the black chain guide or whatever its called up by the front sprocket

ya but thats rubber and i dont think it would be making the noise it is. and my bearing are tight so im really confused on this 1

I had the same thing happen take a look at your rear brake disc make sure its not hittin the skid plate.

Ya know, every now and again I hear a noise from my carrier too, but I just rebuilt it.

The only thing I can think of is the brake disk and caliper mount making some noise.

ya my skid plate is off so i no its not hitting. ya the noise is constant tho everytime i ride it

Yep mine was doing that... I was riding in 1st gear in a circle looking for all possible revenues. Ended up being my bearings in my bearing carrier; replaced them and all is good now. More than likely this is what it is... And more than likely since yours is an '04 like mine they probably just went out too.
