What would have caused this? Heard some noise last ride and took the chain case apart today. The chain was rubbing on the back of the chain case. The bearing on the clutch side is perfect. The bearing on the chain case side is questionable. Kinda weird. If you have had this happen to you please post what you did to fix the problem. Thanks!!

The gear was installed with the writing and flat side out. He had a couple of hundered miles on it before it started making the noise.

15 plate chain or 13? Are you missing the spacer behind the lower gear?

Doesn't look like a 08 summit chain case to me. Looks like 07 and older.

I thought the same thing it looks like a broken spacer on an 07 or older chassie or wasnt enough tension on the chain and it started to drag

Do you have a drop and roll in it if so maybe it wasnt done right and your drive axle is to high in the clutch side.
