Clutch Noise

Should my clutch be noisy during initial bite, it's only noticeable at very low revs and if I dip the clutch apply more rev's and let the lever out again its much quieter.
It doesn't appear to slip under load and there's no noticeable clutch rattle when not in gear

J,
FZR's have notoriously noisy transmissions you can only really know by hearing other FZR's

Thanks.
I'll book it in for a top end service (shim and carb balance) am sure they'll be able to tell me if everything's OK or not.

I always try to speak direct to the mechanics, they tend to give an honest opinion
