You know the chain is good. Might just be that the tensioner is about to advance and the noise will go away when it does. I'm convinced all of the older fazers rattle a bit
As in, take it out for a good blast and see if it jumps a notch?

I'd be reluctant to say that in case something did go wrong it's your bike so it's up to you. If it's not too bad then I'd just carry on riding normally and see if it sorts itself out. Stating the obvious but it all depends on how worn the chain is. If it's worn to the point where the tensioner and guides can't take the slack then reving the knackers off it is probably the worst thing you could do as a sudden change in revs is when the chain is most likely to slip or snap but you know for sure that your chain only has 11k on it. It's unlikely to be worn out at that mileage so it's probably safe enough to try giving it the revs and see if that improves things.
