Default Weird clutch noise/ engine start

I have an '09 883 with 11K miles on it. Yesterday I noticed a buzzing or rattling noise coming from the primary when I pull in the clutch lever. The noise lasts about 2-3 seconds each time I pulled in the lever.
Today I went to start it up again and the bike started up when I pulled in the clutch and without hitting the start engine button. I put the bike in neutral and again I heard a rattling from the primary after a few seconds. Any ideas?

Did you adjust your clutch and primary chain when you changed the Primary/Transmission fluid at 10,000 miles?

If not I would start there.

Your owner's manual will have the destructions to adjust the clutch and primary chain.

If you do not have the owner's manual you can download it from Harley-Davidson.com
