Default Clutch barking ?

I started getting a barking noise from the bike when in 1st gear and a heavy pull as the throttle was twisted back.
never in any other gear and only when accelorating. 4-10 mph.
What is it?

Any one of a hundred things. But, my RK would do this chirpy/bark thing every now and then and it was the left saddlebag support. Pull the bag off and put a little petroleum jell on tbe rubber supports on the bottom of the bag. See if that cures it.
