QUESTION: yes still hear it.pull the clutch lever and it goes away,let it out and its back. if you down from 5 to 4th its considerable louder,because thr transmission is rotaying faster

Answer
I would start by changing the fluids in the primary and trans and see if that doenst help. If you still have the noise then I would check the clutch basket nut for tightness. If that is not the problem then you will have to inspect the trans for a bearing going out
Good luck and happy riding
