My suzuki eiger 400 2004 is making a clicking noise in the front end. Why?

had it since it was brand new and its been clicking for a couple months now. a couple of things i believe it could be is that the slip yoke is grinded up or that something in the front end is loose. The clanking sound sounds like a piece of medal hitting a hollow piece of aluminum.

Sounds like your u joints are going out. Or CV axles if you prefer that term. Check and see if your CV boots are torn and if they are chances are your bearings are shot.
