Been wanting to ask this since last March.
When I rode my Nytro last March my first trip approx 100 miles I noticed a noise when I apply the brakes. Sounds like my 2000 xc Polaris I used to own. It sounds like a resonance noise when the chain is contacting the tensioner as the chain goes slack during braking. I check the chain tension and set it per the owners manual. Turn finger tight and back off 1/2 turn.
Anyone else hear this type of noise.
Thanks

Did you also check the chain fluid level?
It could also mean that a bearing, or two, may be dried up too.

The FX Nytro chaincase is more noisy than the Attak, for instance. It is also very sensitive to chain tension. Slightest bit too hard and it will whine, especially on engine brake.

The fluid was fine.
I checked the tension on the chain when I first got the sled. The adjuster bolt seemed pretty far out from the factory. Took about two turns to go in. Then I backed it out 1/2 turn. Maybe I'll readjust and back out 1 full turn.
