The clutch plates can bind together a little if the clutch is cold and has been sitting unused for a while. That'll cause a noise. Does it happen all the time or just the first few time in a day?
Is the back wheel off the ground? If it is, with the motor off tie the clutch lever back, put it in first gear and see how difficult it is to turn the back wheel. There should only be a slight difference in how easy to turn with the bike in gear and the bike out of gear. If it's noticeably harder to turn in gear, then your clutch is not dis-engaging properly. That could be adjustment or warped plates in the clutch.
Cheers bloke,
