rattling problem

[crixal]

i just bought a brand new ds 450. i got it home and rode it for about 5 minutes and noticed an abnormal rattling. i've rode enough to know when something is not right. it sounds like rocks rattling in a can. i called the service department where i bought and they said it was the chain. i took it down there to them and the rattled the chain around and it made the same noise. has anyone else w/ a chain driven quad heard something like this? i have had a few chain driven quads and never heard this? any one know what it could be?

the best thing you could do is just go over everything and make sure its tight. axle, chain, wheels, a arms. could be anything honestly.

Haha, yea i had the same problem on my 400, there should be a piece of rubber on the skid plate so the chain wont do that, take the skid plate off and take it out for a lil spin
