So I lubed and adjusted the chain, that actually made it worse. Probably because of slightly too much chain tension, so I backed that off a little. The clicking has largely gone but now it's more like a bearing noise and it is most noticable on gearing down.
Any ideas anybody?

Have you checked your front sprocket for movement or to see if there is teeth missing or worn away as when your getting on it the torque from the chain will lesson any movement and slowing down and going slowly there isn't enough torque to keep the chain from hitting either the front sprocket cover or swingarm.
