Does the noise come back when you let out the clutch and start moving, if it is the inner primary bearing, the noise will be present while riding.

Thank you guys!

I had a similar noise and your diagnosis was right on the money. I went into the dealer and told them that I think my inner primary bearing was spun and the next day I get call from the dealer informing me that I was right, it was the inner primary bearing. Cost me $50 extended warranty deductible and I was on my way.

Since there were in there pulling the clutch anyways to get to the bearing, and because of the high mileage on the bike, I had them replace the clutch as well and I saved a ton on labor.

Thanks for you help! now to get that last few miles I need to break 100K.
