zx14-R wheel clicking noise

For some reason lately, my 2012 ZX14R has a fast clicking noise from one of the wheels as I roll the bike. It doesn't have to be running, just rolling slowly. You hear a fast click click click click........... It's also audible in 1st gear while moving from a stop. I adjust my own chain. Everything is stock and I use a Motion Pro alignment guage. I am about 1.2" of slack. Hard to tell when you measure slack because the swing arm is in the way, and I use a good calibrated torque wrench for the axle nut. Any ideas????????? It is just recent within the last 2 months and the bike is one year old with 2,600 miles on it.

Thanks!!

Check the anti-squeel shims are seated properly in the front brake calipers. They can catch the wavey edge of the rotor if dislodged. Easy to check, with the front off the ground and spin the wheel.
