I developed a ticking in the rear end friday,,,rode it home and checked out everything i could to find it.
Sounds like a small rock got into the rotor and hits the pads causing the caliper to slap n its place.
I pulled the rear tire and checked all the bearings and spacers and splines and everything i could find...
couldnt find anything so i put it all back together,,,it quit for a short time but started back but only when i hit the brakes,.,, like a warped rotor or someting because it only clicks once per revolution of the tire...i just started to ignore it cause it aint like a solid knock its just a tick, tick, tick, tick,,,,
any ideas?

Have ya checked for a loose rotor mounting bolt?
Did you look at the pad itself, or just the rotor?
Also, it could be a warped rotor, does the brake pedal, or lever pulse when applied?

IF ALL ELSE fails...take a close look at the black plastic dust ring on the right side of the pumpkin....make sure it's secure and in proper place....I had a "clicking" from that area on my 98 Tourer - about one click for every complete wheel revolution and I futzed with the dust ring a little and the "click" went away.....nothing scientific or technical about it and I can't prove that was the exact cause but the click has gone - for now anyway. Easy to check and cheap too ! I too went through the taking the rear wheel off, pulled driveshaft etc. and found nothing out of the ordinary while the elusive click remained. NO guarantees but might be worth a shot to really check the dust ring out. GOOD LUCK !!

Of course it is most important that you absolutely identify from where the noise is emitting.
If the brake pads are presently worn, and you have changed them a few times over the years the usual symptom will be the pads clicking on the rotor, and not meaning the rotor is the problem.
Usually when this happens the culprit is the small flat stainless spring in the caliper which is identified as:
SPRING, PAD
43108-MT3-006

OK thanks for all the replies,
lets go with the stainless flat spring thing, under hard breaking you would think that constant pressure would keep it from happening,, but the tick gets louder the harder you push the brake,,if the rotor was warped i would think i would feel it in the pedal,,and a warpage i don't think would make a ticking sound.
the plastic dust ring, now there's something i aint thought of...
it has new pads cause i went ahead and replaced them while i had it apart...i am ax ex mechanic and owned and raced my own sprint car, so mechanics is not a problem for me,,,what is a problem is that darn ticking sound,,,,coming from the back...no its not a pair valve cause it aint got one,,
now one a 150 mile ride today, we only heard it once or twice,,,HMMMMMMMMM
again thanks for all the ideas,, i will start to look at some of them...

I agree that it isn't the spring because the ticking would only happen under no braking.
Since the ticking becomes louder under braking I would suggest it is possibly a wheel bearing. This has been an indicator in past threads when a bearing was bad in the rear wheel.

jess....it is probably what they said above......either a loose disc bolt (that's what happened to mine.), or a bad wheel bearing (i also had a problem here too.). whatever it is...it's going to be something really simple to fix.

You said you pulled the rear tire. I assume you took the wheel off but did you take the final drive off and inspect the drive shaft, especially the rear splines and pinion cup? That ticking can be caused by a dry pinion cup.....just sayin

o yea more info,,
i thought of bad wheel bearings also but i just installed these at the end of last year and while i had it apart the wheel bearings had no rough spots in them,, BUT!!,, when you turn the inner side of the bearing it doesnt hit the same place on the race every turn but yea still could be a bearing, but why does it get louder the harder you brake?
yep i checked the splines and all that stuff too,,,
i did not pull the final drive off,, i am afraid if i do i might find something bad in there like a u joint bad and that would not be good for me, LOL,,,
supper is ready so i will go eat now,,,

You need to pull the final drive and drive shaft. I predict you have dry toasted pinion splines. Good news.....easy not to expensive fix
