Default 2006 Kodiak 450,Noise in Front Differential

Hello,
I have a 2006 Kodiak 450.It has approx 600 Kms.When I have the front end jacked up there is
a slight clicking noise when the front right tire spins.This noise happenings in 2wheel or 4wheel drive.
It doesnt happen when the front left tire is spun by itself.Sounds like the noise is coming
from inside the front differential.It almost sounds like it isnt disengaging something properly or a bearing
might be going.I have chk'd the fluid and no water has entered the differential.Has anyone else experienced this type
of noise on their Kodiak? Is it a normal noise or do I need to have it looked at?
Thanks for your time, Brent.

Is the noise coming from inside the boot connected to the differential? If so it might be your CV joint.

You need to get it checked out before it causes any damage just in case...it is probably something very minor

I was able to check a different 2006 450 and it makes the same noise, so all is normal.
