Check if anything is touching the chain or wheel. It helps if you can put the cat on the center stand or some sort of Jack to keep the rear wheel off the ground (as level as possible to simulate riding condition).



I had some in motion clicking after I tightend the chain too much. :oops:  I only felt it in low speeds.  



I had some grinding after I turned the rear wheel thingamajigi 180 degrees to lower the bike and didn't put the right spacer to raise the chain guard.  :oops: The chain guard touched the chain and made the sound when rear wheel was spinning...
