When does it make the sound? While turning the wheel, in motion, not in motion? Does the engine have to be running to make this sound? If so, does the "clicking" sound follow RPM's?

Does it follow wheel speed or engine speed? Try shifting into neutral while riding at 10mph, hit the throttle and listen. Also try to determine what side its coming from if it IS wheel speed related. Let us know what you hear.
