part number 46 in 2005 2006 and 2007 GasGas pro parts books in CHASSIS PAGE 7 ....chain slipper pad that you say is only starting bto be used on the 2013 model.

I'll one on because the other thing have noticed is before chain rattled the snail lugs on the wheel was straight out the back since the noise came I tried getting chain to a tension but now the snail lugs point up not out back if you get what am saying as if originally there was something that fell off an now the wheel adjusters go further round before tension is pulled on the chain

 Actually the noise could be the shifter as it is not all the way on the shaft.

The noise is the chain on the frame not the shifter mate I can old the chain off the frame with my fingers and quiet as a mouse

I think you may need to check that your wheel is lined up correctly.that may make the chain noisey on the sprockets

Seems you have the chain too tight? Eh? Like I said, better off loose.

Chain can't be to tight.the more I loosen the worse it is. It basically set so when turn the snails the tensioner lowers to.1.5 cm and the snails are just biting on the swing arm any looser they Dnt touch the swing arm

The wheel is set so the marks are exact same both sides of bike on the snails.

The chain is noisey on the frame not the sprockets

Sounds like your chain and sprockets may be worn out and you will get more adjustment available on the snails with a new chain that will be shorter in length with the same number of links.
