Check the front lay shaft bearing for play/noise. These can and do wear/dry out mainly due to overtightening the drive chain.
It's also possible one or more of the gearbox bearings has had it.
Ignore the the brake caliper comment. They will just bind or tick, excessive brake dust, you'll feel resistance/loss of performance and possible blueing of the disc/s in extreme cases. What you're describing is drive/transmission issues.
Check the wheel alignment, the rear sprocket carrier bearing, rear wheel bearings these can dry out with no play. Also check every link in the chain, then check swing arm and shock linkages.
