I'd start by checking the gear oil in the rear end for proper level, then drain it and see if there are any metal bits in there. If that looks okay, I'd pull the rear wheel and inspect the ring gear. If that's okay I'd pull the drive shaft and check the U-joint(s). If that looks okay I'd pull the swingarm and inspect the bevel gear.
If I had to pick just one, I'd say it was a bad U-joint...
