My comment has nothing to do with the noise, but if you currently have a friction plate against an alloy pressure plate in the RGM clutch, add that steel you took out so that it is against the pressure plate leaving the rest of the stack in the same order. Your clutch plates will last longer as will the alloy pressure plate. This tip is in the instructions that come with the RGM clutch. I did not make it up, or read it somewhere on the internet.
If you are using automatic transmission fluid in your gearbox, change it to a gearbox or differential oil.
Bearings, bushes, or shafts are the only things I am aware that will whine. Too much stress from the rear chain if it is too tight with your weight on the bike and a tight clutch belt could eventually cause problems. Sleeve gear bush could be hurting. Or the gearbox shell has shaft alignment problems which is why it was sold.
Guessing is fairly pointless even though that is what makes this website work.
When I get close to going bananas, I buy new parts. A new Commando gearbox is relatively inexpensive for keeping your sanity and would solve your problem more than likely.
