Clutch noise

I've got a wee bit of a problem with my bike. CLutch is not slipping when disengaged but when letting it out from first gear it starts to make a slight squealing noise which can be felt through the leaver. I'm thinking the fibre plates could be glazed. Any opinions??? where's the best place to get new clutch packs from in the States, they are too fooking expensive in Australia..

OEM clutch plates are the only way to go!!!

Did you ever open up the clutch cover???
What kind of riding do you do???
How many miles on it???
Do you always have your finger on the clutch lever???

Never opened the clutch cover, that's this weekends job.
Done a few passes on the strip probably about 40 or 50.
10,000kms.
never ride the clutch when riding or rest any fingers on it.
Going to give them a very light sanding tomorrow, then buy a new clutch pack if that fails to work. Off season now at the drags so just normal riding for a few months.
