You may want to change the oem chain guide above the front of the swingarm as they make alot of noise when new let alone when worn out. Go to this style:

I dont usually run the upper roller but you can feel and listen to your bottom roller to see if it is worn.

Jeffs right.

 

Those rollers can wear fast too! That's what happens when you're putting some power to the ground.

Make sure that's what it is. About 2 weeks ago, I thought my bottom chain slider was making noise too. Turned out it was the axle bearings. Might want to check those too.

Good call, jack it up and spin everything, pay attention to your chain as it could have rollers or pins in bad shape too.
