Well I have ruled a couple of things out, I took the sprocket cover off and the nut and sprocket are where they should be. I noticed the fairing inner panels weren't properly secured at the forward edge, I repositioned these, and have checked things over again and can't find anything wrong.
I have ordered some front wheel bearings and will check and possibly replace these at the weekend, while I check out the speedo drive.
The tyre is a nearly new Bridgestone 021, which is why I first thought of the speedo drive as the front wheel must have been recently refitted. The chain is a fairly worn original item (just over 20k on the bike now)and will be replaced in the not too distant future.
Anyway the noise is still there, and slowly getting right on my t**s
