Well I couldn't wait till the weekend so last night I put her up on the center stand. When I spun the rear wheel by hand there was quite a bit of noise from the chain so that got a good clean and lubricated with Chain Wax. This made a big difference.
I also noticed the rear wheel is set at 3 marks on the left and 3.5 on the right. A tiny amount but I will adjust this tomorrow along with chain tension.
I also heard noise from the rear brake pads against the rotor. When pressing the brake pedal its is pretty quite but when released there is a tiny amount of contact between the pad and rotor and because the rotor is so thin it does resonate somewhat. I will probably remove the brake pads for a clean and apply a small amount of brake pad anti vibration liquid on the contact points with the caliper.
I stress this is only minor problems as wheel is not binding and spins freely by hand. More of an annoyance than anything else.
I hope this helps anyone else with similar issues and I will report back after my adjustments to see if there are any improvements.
