Ok the results.
After a week of fettling and worrying, i went for a test ride this afternoon, and all sounds fine although i was still paranoid. And thought i could still hear it. And actually don't know if i was chain tension or wheel misalignment.
So went to my stealer to get them to check everything over and they gave it the a-ok. Possibly a tight chain coupled with the fact thats its original and got 18,000 miles on it. The mechanic also said chain tension should be checked on the centre stand. But i will double check when its on the side stand in future as well.
Other reason may have been on some yamaha's of this ilk they put a cush drive next to front sproket to reduce vibration, all it achieves is more noise apparently.
So there you go check, check and check again. :rolleyes
