Default Primary Noise

Bike 07 RKC
Issue: While the bike is moving along and I pull in the clutch to shift gears or down shift I hear a whirring noise in the primary area. If I let the clutch out the noise goes away. It only does it while the bike is moving and the clutch is pulled in. Any thoughts?

Sounds like you need to make sure the primary chain is the way it needs to be. I know it has an automatic tensioner, but it sounds like primary chain to me.
