Default clickity click click

ok so i just got my 06 500 auto about 2 weeks ago.
apon riding up some rather rough trails today in low i could hear a click comming from the rear end. now it's not the suspention, it'll click like say when you put torque to the rear to get over some logs or rocks.
so what i did was get it to flat ground, and in low and holding the breaks i can bump the gass a little very little and i can hear something in the rear go click click. same thing happens if i try in reverse. i have looked at everything i can to see if i can find what might be clicking. thought maybe a bolt is comming loose on the rear diff and it's shifting some from the torque. no. so maybe the lugnuts are a little loose and need to be tightened. no. i havent a clue. and god help me if i have to tell my wife that the quad i shouldnt have bought needs to go in for repair. warrenty or not.
So do any of your quads have a tick or click? i've baybied this from day one. i realy hope AC are good atv's hate to say it but my honda NEVER once gave me any trouble.
i can also make it do it in low, kinda like so....
in low gass it to say 10 mph, let off for engine breaking and i can hear it click once. then get on the gass again and i can hear it click again.
so it has something to do with the drive trane./?????? i think.
i hope one or some of ya'll can help me on this.
thanks again

HR

The second click you talk about is the gears just going from one tooth face to the other and is normal, The first one could be a loose wheel bearing or nothing.
