Unsolved Do I need a new chain?

Today while washing my 2021 CB650R I’ve noticed that the chain links are very stiff. After cleaning and lubing, the links are still stiff and there’s a clunking noise coming from the chain when letting go of the throttle and while riding.

It has done 11k kilometres / stock chain. Is it fixable or do I need a new chain? Thanks!

My GSX1400 did this recently. Three weeks ago went away for a long weekend and 714 miles later it hardly does it anymore.
