Default clicking 90' gsx600f

I'm a new rider and I have a 90' gsx600f. I just changed the back tire did not take the chain all the way off, just off the back so the rim came out. I put the new tire back on it was running good then I dropped it.. I know I know, I broke the clutch lever, repaced that today. when I start from a stop now I hear some clicking which sounds like its coming from the chain. It did not do it when i had it on the rear stand tho, only on the ground. any ideas?

Loose chain? Bad wheel alignment?

When my chain was worn beyond useable limits it started to climb the sprocket on hard accel. Check the slack per the manual, then check the wear of the chain. It may be time for a new chain and sprockets.

Yeah, sounds like possible chain adjustment issues.
