2013 SB pro r grinding/rubbing noise when first accelerating.

[Franzchise]

It happens when first accelerating but only happens about 85% of the time. It sounds like a constant rubbing grinding until I accelerate more and it seems to smooth down, any info would be much appreciated.. I really dont wanna lose time to the dealer turnover.

I tried leaving it in a heated garage to make sure it wasnt an ice ball stuck in there but any info ideas would help
thanks

**Just re-read this and see that it's a SB Pro/R....not sure if it has the quickdrive belt or chain drive...ignore it it has the chain...sorry***

Check your belt drive first. My buddy's '13 sounded something similar to that when his belt threw several cogs. We managed to get it out under its own power, but it was mostly flat on a packed trail.

Another SW'r had a similar noise and it turned out to be a chain case cover bolt backing out and bumping into the brake disk. Worth a quick look.

UPDATE: Turns out the issue was in my clutch. Inside where the spider bushing is was locked up apparently. So they swapped it out with a brand new clutch.
