When I go to start it, the kick starter makes a clicking sound and doesn't turn the engine but the kickstarter moves fine. What is wrong?!
Sounds like the gears inside are stripped or missing teeth open up the side case and check and replace any gears missing teeth or stripped

There is a "C" clip with a stem at a right angle as a part of the clip. This is a part of the kick starter mechanics. Replace the clip. It is about one inch in diameter.

the clicking noise is not normal, and could be a tooth off the gear, drain the oil and check for particles, and may need a mechanic to look at it, if it is a broken gear , it can cause more damage if you keep riding

It sounds like you have damage to the gear on the kicker shaft or an idler gear that rides on it or both. Either or there is likely metal bits loose inside the engine.
Pull the spark plug and with the ignition off work the kickstart through it's paces and see if you can kinda tell things about whats going on. Is the nasty sounding bit always in the same spot as the crank rotates...hard to tell but suffice to say if you're hearing nasty gronching noises and meeting resistance when kicking you got trouble inside. If you meet any serious resistance I wouldn't push it.
The kick assembly can be accessed via the side cover....bit of a job but not too big. Biggest part will be making sure all the metal bits are gone.
Take care.

The TTR-125 Carburetor's Run Lean by design. Mine had the same issues till I found a post on Thumpertalk.com on Carb and air box Mod. This is a good starting point on gets; 110 and 112.5 main and 17.5 pilot. But you must check spark plug coloring to make sure the jetting is correct. Check spark plug after the bike has been ridden for a wile. I also took out the stock baffle and replaced it with exhaust tip and now it fires up after a few kicks and worms up in a few minutes.
