Hey guys, this might help. Bikes with long travel suspension(eg. KLR, KTM) can be very tricky! The chain seems loose until you load the suspension and is finally tight at the end of it's stroke. It could be your chain is too tight and stretching pre-maturely. Also, stand 6-8 feet back from the bike and sight down along the chain and sprocket to make sure they are paralell and in line. You can also check the last tooth engaged in a link, looking down from the top, and see if it's centered in the chain. Perfect alignment is crucial to chain and sprocket life. It sounds like the chain has stretched, causing the clicking noise, or it may be out of alignment.
Good luck!
