Rear axle clicking noise

Rear axle clicking noise
I have a Honda CBR600F4 that was laid down on the left side at a very slow speed (approx 5mph). In addition to some fairing scratches there is a loud "clicking" noise coming from the rear axle (chain/sprocket?) as the wheel turns. It is mostly heard at slow speeds in 1st or 2nd gear. The click gets more rapid as I speed up and either goes away or I can't hear it anymore at higher speeds. Any ideas?

RE: Rear axle clicking noise
Thanks for the input! I have not put it up on a stand yet, but it does not make the noise when I am in neutral and there is no tension on the chain, so I am fairly certain it is the chain or the sprocket. I can't find any links on the chain or teeth on the sprocket that are damaged, so I am guessing it is an alignment issue, or I am just not seeing the damaged piece. I can't think of anything else that it could be. Does that sound like a reasonable assumption, any other thoughts as to what it may be? I do like the cig and beer idea...
