Weird clicking noise.

Put the bike on the centre stand and then use a screwdriver, or similar, to lift/lower the chain above and below the swingarm to see if you can replicate it.
Possibly just the weight of the bike altering the swingarm angle/chain tension which makes it 'interfere' with something else e.g. chain guide/runner, sprocket cover etc.

“added some extra chain grease”

Was it on the dry side for some time before? It and the sprockets could be worn.

Id also double check the alingment and check the front sprocket is secure, either of those not correct or tight will make the chain run out of true and click as it tries to climb the sprocket.

Wheel bearing.

I had a strange intermittent click a few times from the rear , visually everything ok, within I’d say 100 miles of commuting the fault escalated very quickly. A vibration was the next symptom, then abs light on. Result was the rear wheel bearing seizing up!

One of the Old Gits had something similar some years ago while on a trip to the Alps. It turns out it was a rear disk retaining bolt that was working loose and was just catching on something fixed to the swing arm.
