I could have sworn I'd posted about this here before, but I can't find the thread and it's bothering me again, so . . .
Yeah, as I let the clutch out accelerating away from a stop, there's this little set of clicks that I haven't been able to figure out. My chain is only a few thousand miles old and is tightened to spec. I've recently serviced the R6 forks, front brakes and steering head bearings. No play in the wheels that would indicate a wheel bearing problem. I've even run this past a very good mechanic and she was stumped, too, after a test ride. The clutch doesn't slip, shifting seems normal and the clutch disengages completely. Front sprocket doesn't appear to be coming loose. I can't replicate it with the bike stationary and I can't make it do the noise jumping to WOT in 2nd (I think? hard to hear).
It's driving me **#&$@#$ nuts.
Someone has suggested replacing the cush drive, but it seems unlikely and those stupid rubber bumpers are kind of expensive for what they are.
