2000 KTM 380 MXC +Clicksound/Pressure-washer

[MaxFactor808]

Okay, First off..... Hello KTM. I am new to the brand but have always admired their machines. I am also new to your Forum. Happy Holidays Everyone.

Ive ridden dirtbike since I was 10. Im 36 now. Any woo....My Bike was ridden
good as a first test since I just got it 4 days ago...... Mudd head to toe!!!!
Power Washer time.
So My problem is I now have a clicking sound when I spin my Rear tire.
The sound seems to be from the Front Sprocket.
How do I stop this.? Id imagine water in the bearing? Take off the Gear and chain and air out with a compressor? Bearing needs replacement?

Btw I have Lubed all parts that need lube since pressurewashing. But I will take tips you may have involving pressurewashing a bike.

I have a 3,000psi gas washer using the weakest tip. Thanks in Advace.
Attatched is a short clip of the sound. Help!!

Honestly it could be the noise of the chain making contact with the sprocket. Did you re-lube the chain after washing? Also if your sprocket is worn, and the chain is too tight it will make the noise you are describing.

Yes, Chain Has been lubed. Also its very loose. Not slapping loose but Enough

Okay I gave the bike another once over and if you watch the video attached
You will see its the Roller guide for the chain is whats making the noise.
My chain, I guess could be a tadd bitt tighter. When Checking the rear sprocket, I noticed the bolts were almost falling off. The damm guy I bought it from
Must have recently took the bike apart. All bolts everywhere were fairly loose.
Not any More.......... I love my KTM Thanks Guys for reading. AlOHA

From what I understand, the rear sprocket bolts tend to loosen on KTM's. I don't think you can blame that on the previous owner. Now that you mention it I need to check mine again.
