A little more detail? is this noise occurring only when the brakes (front or rear or both?) are engaged? Does it just do it one time and stop or is it constantly "clicking"? Does it sound metallic? Which end of the quad does the sound seem to originate?
I'm no mechanic by any stretch of the imagination but it could be anything really unless you can pin point to particular areas and type of sound. Could be a loose plastic piece, loose heat shielding, loose cable, a suspension click as it settles under the G's of braking, or the brake pads clicking on the rotors if yours came with holes drilled in them like the 850s. Gotta do some Sherlock Holmes stuff for others to help ya out

It's defiantly met talc it sounds to me that it's coming from the center of the machine up under it I think it's slack in the drive train it clacks pretty bad usually when braking with any brake or turning ( while rolling and throttle not engaged )I called my dealer and they said they all do it but no one else seems to know what I talking about and I've also had ppl tell me that the 2012 have been coming out the crate with bad axles just wanting to c what I can find out before I go argue with my dealer lol

when decelerating over bumps or when going downhill without throttle, you will hear the driveline making noise. These are not quiet machines by any stretch of the imagination. Now, if you heard a clicking sound from the axles, then chances are your CV joint is out of grease and possibly bad (happened to me once).
