I recently had all the wheel bearings replaced on mine, except the big needle roller one in the back. There was no sign of untoward movement with the wheels in, would have passed an MOT. But with wheels out for tyre fitting, the guy I use found they were notchy, which he showed me. At 43k miles, and having had a rear bearing collapse on me on my previous bike, I had been bothering him about them for some time, so I'm glad he checked when he did.
You can get some very peculiar noises from the fairing infill panels if they're not damped properly. Try putting a hand firmly on each one in turn as you ride to see if the noise stops/changes.
Other than that, dry chain? Clean it, re-lube it?
Or yes, as BBB ^^ says, non-standard front sprocket has no damper and some folk claim noisier for that.
That's all I can think of, but others here are far more knowledgeable than me
