check chain and spokets. if you were in mud, also maybe a rock got in the chain and spoket. make sure its not worn out of too loose or tight. will cause clicking sometimes. imo.

ok how do i check the chain and sprocket... sorry i just got into ridin recently so i feel like a dummy when i asked these questions... also i check the housin for the belt and clutch, everything look fine and belt looks still brand new... and thanks stendori for bein the only replyin...



also just got done lookin at it. and i notice there is a black guard or something... it is near the back sprocket and looks like the chains goes through the lil groove... i really dont know wat it is(maybe some kind of cover?) but it seems very loose when i go to touch it but when i try to tighten it, it will not tighten.... i added a picture of the black guard or wat not... sorry was a cellphone and im pointin where the thing is..
