weird noise!

I let me little brother ride my 07 predator, and when he was in first just putting along i could hear a noise that sounded like the chain was rubbing on the guard on the swing arm, but i'm pretty positive it wasnt that. The sound would come and go but it seemed like it was only at low speeds and when he was just cruising slowly.
Any ideas???

P.S. the bike only has like 15 hours on it max

the motor when going alittle above idle in gear makes a kind of loud clinging and its typical and ok for it to do that they all do and trust me it scared me at first 2 drive it woith out a helmet and when you speed up just a little it goes away

ok, will do...after reading through some other posts i realized it may actually be the chain. Im sure its fine, its my first quad and every little noise worries me. lol

its normal.....when I bought my 05 it made like a whining sound too....the only reason you hear it low is the motor is quiet. Just beat on it and break it in and itll go away
