I removed the "chainguide" on my Templar. I consider it to be just a noisemaker. The main purpose is to prevent branches from getting caught into the chain/sprocket connection.

The chain gaurd on my Storm is SWEET... just a flange aiming down on the outside of the swingarm, with NO cross chain separate bolted on component. It actually works without having the additional wear/noise parts of a complete chainguide.

If you keep your chain adjusted (this is a nearly daily check!), the chain will be quieter and work right. I think I will mount my chain guide without the cross chain part back onto the Templar. Quiet and works OK. Bashan was right.
