I just bought the bike 6 months ago. The sound happens when slipping the clutch during launch. It is fairly easy to engage the clutch w/o having it make noise, but no drag races! It had new oil in it when I bought it, so I just got around to changing oil. I went to diesel oil... T6, and after the oil change there is no improvement. It has been suggested that the problem is caused by running oil with friction modifiers sometime in the bikes life, which seems feasible to me.
Can anyone confirm or deny that replacing clutch discs solves the problem? This seems to me to be the thing to do next. I have the bike for sale, and the bike is perfect except for this issue. I sure would like to fix this issue for whoever the new owner will be.
