b4 tearing apart the back of the motor apart check the easy stuff first.
i would check out the final drive
put in neutral and rotate the wheel, check final drive (it can be black without problem) fluid and the little magnet for metal.
maybe run it in 2nd gear off the ground

Can't think of a good thread off hand, but from memory the bearing on the torsional damper was installed backwards from factory. So the oil couldn't get into it to lube it.
If you do a search for output or torsional damper bearing you should find info.
There's an update kit you can buy but it's only really the bearing you need iirc.
I did my 06 engine a good few years ago, would have to dig through detailed files.

Before going any further would you be able to determine if the noise is from the front or back of the engine?
Presume it's on the left side anyway. Tha's clutch (front), trans (middle) and torsional damper output (rear).

Lifter piece is #24 on photo, once you torque plate screws that lifter piece has to be free spinning and in/out 2 to 3mm of free travel, if not, bike will creep forward with clutch lever pulled in. If the lifter piece is tight, undo clutch parts and re assemble making sure no extra judders or anything out of place, the washers the wavy washer, if you used suzuki or barnett stuff the pack is a little bigger and affects that lifter piece, you can do away with the washer at pressure plate and lifter piece, but the lifter piece is critical. I see supercharged so you probably already use the 50mm long basket bolts.
