Default noise in primary only when I first start out

I have been hearing a "squeek" type sound but only when I first start my trip after the bike has sat all night. After it warms up it's eithe gone or much less notcable. It only makes this squeek sound when I am releasing my clutch the last little bit before it fully engages. Any ideas out there ..? Thanks

The only thing I can think of would be the clutch cable needs some lube or maybe the clutch basket is a tad dry. Did you check the oil level in the primary?
