Hey guys, it's my second time out on my new 2014 Viper LTX SE sled and now have just a little over 300 miles on it. Sled rode fine today, except I noticed after we stopped for lunch, everytime I would coast to a stop ( without brake) and when the sled does the loud whine before the complete stop, I could hear like a loose chain noise?? It takes off fine and doesn't make any noise up top either, only time I hear it is when I mentioned previous. I'm pretty sure it wasn't doing this on my first ride out with it.

Any ideas? I hope i made sense LOL. I'm gonna call the dealer tmrw. Maybe it's time for the chain tension to be set? Not really sure at this point. They told me 800km to bring in for oil change and chain tension and overall inspection. Little worried is all. Sled has been great otherwise. Rides awesome and starts everytime. No issues at all.

Check the front of the skid rails for marks above the track on the end cap like below but hopefully not as bad. If you see any put an anti stab kit on asap. Anti stab below was put on after I noticed the wear.
