Chain Noise

Does anyone know what is causing this noise?
The chain is aligned and tensioned correctly and the sprockets look fine to me.
In person it is difficult to tell where the noise is coming from but it sounds like it's the front sprocket in the video.
The chain and sprockets have done less than 10k.

How is your rear wheel bearing? My Street Triple never made that noise.

Have you checked that the swingarm guard isn't loose?

I had that on one of mine! Was a relief when I realised it was only that

Sounds plasticky, check your guards as mentioned.

Wheel bearings were my first thought but they are all fine.

Most likely lost a bolt, and it shifts around.

No idea, it has gone now after having the wheel off again.
