If there's any guys from Cali wanting a Dan-moto slip on PM me there is a way to have it shipped to you.
For those who don't know Dan-moto won't ship to CA.
Got a question about the rearsets you installed. I know the stock ones are rubber mounted for vibration. The reason I ask is last bike that I had, had rubber pegs, I replace with solid ones and had a problem with my feet falling asleep after 1 hour.
The noise sounds like the clutch throw out bearing. If your bike is still under warranty I would take it in and at least get it documented. I would also get the extended warranty. Make sure it's a "Yamaha service contract" and not a 2nd party garbage one.
