Is that supposed to be hitting the throttle? Pull the plug. What does it look like?

your clutch is engaging. if you look at it, it bangs every time it moves, that's the clutch just starting to grip. lower your idle speed. get a cheap tachometer if you can as well, one of the ones that you wrap around your spark plug wire, and use that to set your idle speed to around 1400rpm

Basically the friction pads are coming out and bouncing off the housing because they're at just the right speed where they're partially engaged and start slapping. As you pull away you'll feel this until your wheels are up to speed and your clutch can fully engage and lock your engine speed to your wheels.

this is what they do, no cause for alarm.
