Noisy transmission 07 fsr 450

[fastisbetter]

I just bought a leftover 07 fsr450 with no kms on it and it is very noisy when I let out the clutch, almost sounds like a bad bearing or something, does it in neutral or in gear, moving or stationary. Is this a normal sound for these bikes? My dealer is 3hrs away so I don't want to take it in if its just the nature of the beast. Also I've been reading that these bikes are equipped with a slipper clutch. I'm used to 2strokes and never had a big 4stroke before but it would seem to me that there is zero slip when I back off the fuel, it will almost pitch you over the bars if you are not expecting it. Does anyone else have similar problems?
