 Hate to say it but it sounds like my clutch before one of the two friction

Well, I started it up tonight and let it warm up as I wanted to play with the
carbs some as it was idling pretty high when warm. So I got the carbs
adjusted to a good idle and response and went for a ride. In the four mile
loop I did not hear any strange noises coming from the clutch at all.
I am hoping as someone mentioned that maybe the heat yesterday made for all
the strange noises. I owned a 'dry clutch' Ducati before this and it made
noise (some folks were even envious of the noise) but not like this was. Oh
well, I just hope it doesn't reappear next week.
