It sounds like a <k-word> issue to me....
It is hard to describe noises and how things are felt (easy boys!) but mine has what I would describe as clutch chatter, mostly when the clutch is pretty heavily loaded but still slipping slightly during launch. It seems to be oil viscosity related; the thinner the oil, the more it does it. Even more important that the actual weight of the oil in the crankcase is the temperature of the transmission; the clutch shudders mostly on hot days when the bike has been used a long time. On the other side, it does not do it at all once the temp. is below something like 45 F.
It is probably normal and I would probably ignore it unless it is progressive and getting worse, and then it should be taken care of under warranty.

While I am letting out the clutch and motoring away from a stop, the clutch makes a very odd groaning sound.
It happens randomly, riding single or 2 up....
Anyone else experience this?
Thoughts?
Its a 2010 with 21k miles....
