A squeak when pulling away from cold 1150 GSA

[hairyhippy]

When I pull away and the bike is cold, I get a squeak as I am dumping the clutch. Once the clutch is fully dumped, the squeak stops, it also does not happen once the bike is warmed up. The clutch is not slipping so I can rule that out. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Could be the thrust piston in the clutch slave cylinder.

Never hold the clutch in while stationary for any length of time, i.e. at traffic lights or in jams.

Always put it in neutral and clutch out.

Why would it only make the noise when the clutch is used.

My clutch (TT ceramic) makes a slight squeaking noise as it slips a little when pulling away, once fully home the noise stops, as the clutch makes no noise when the lever is fully in or out I am confident the noise is made by the friction plate and is normal.my car clutch makes a hissing noise under the same circumstances but it can only be heard with the door open, to make myself feel a little better about this I occasionally listen to a Ducati with its dry multiplate job or wear earplugs.

Alternator Belt

I vote for the alternator belt - and it only takes 10 mins to check!
