A little belt/cord irregularity but I don't think that would do it. Spin the clutches by hand and watch for any run-out or warp-age or any strange spots on the sheaves.

While you down there inspect the motor mounts and the rear gearcase mounts tor movement and loose bolts. See if the engine looks to be not centered in the rubber mounts too as some have had the rubbers knocked out. Both would give you that metal-to-metal feel and sound. A bad u-joint on the front driveline would also give you vibration as it turns all the time.

If you didn't change the belt when you did the kit that may be the issue
Make sure it's all torqued properly
As well
You should take a scotch brite to the faces an give them a buff if there's any glazing it can make the belt skip on take off
If your more aggressive when you take off does it do the same thing
Or only when trying to take off smoothly

Pull the clutches an give them a good cleaning an inspection
Likely a new belt it in order
Was anything done Reclocking clutch weights etc that you know of?

Welcome! You're not the only 73 year old youngster here - I'm right there with you.

Heck whatever works. Older ones like mine with the cable throttle were also too light on the spring but it was just a matter of giving the peddle spring another wind. These new ones have that inside the module. Maybe it can be taken apart and.."Adjusted".I hear...they fixed that issue in the 2023s with an updated throttle module. Wonder if they actually did and if it would fit the 22s...Hmm.
