Default Clicking sound

Hey guys not sure if anyone can help. I was pushing my 07 Grizzly in the garage today in neutral and noticed a clicking sound. It sounded like it came from the rear section looked for sticks or debri in the carriage and found nothing. Not sure what the best place to start is for looking any info or ides big help here. Thanks in advance.

Lift the rear end up and spin the wheels round to see if you can narrow down where the click comes from. I have had more trouble than would be expected from 550 Grizzly rear CV joints. If it IRS and sounds like a CV joint, it probably is.

Lifted the read end spun the wheel which I thought would spin individually but maybe that’s from my car thinking mind. Anyway sound was coming more from drive belt area. Pulled belt cover spun them again nothing a miss in the belt of clutch. Sounds more like the output shaft to the read end. Started and ran at idle and then ran throttle up a bit with rear lifted and in gear then neutral shut off and spun sound didn’t seem to be as loud so I’m confused. Anyone have thoughts?

Default Could be rear axles

I just replaced the rear axles in my grizzly 660 due to a clicking CV joint on right side where boot had failed. Might be your problem. Pair of axles with new rear bearings cost $179 aftermarket.

If you have the back end up and spin the wheels by hand, you can sometimes feel the click in a driveshaft, or, in this case possibly the rear prop shaft, by touching it as it spins round. Quite what it would mean if it is the prop shaft, I don't know.

I’m going to run it and keep my eye on things and let you all know what happens. For right now it seems to have gone away but time will tell. I’m not sure what it could be though
