Have to admit, hearing that scrrrrrgnkkk!! while going 10-15 miph was pretty unexpected.

The fact that you are questioning on what feathering the clutch has to do with any slow speed maneuvers including uphill hairpins, tells me you don't know how to use the clutch to its fullest. Someone asked this question awhile back and I gave a detailed explanation of the technique and benefits but I'm not in the mood right now to think that hard.
As for dragging hard parts, that's improper riding style or simply put bad body position. Quickest way to judge you body position is from a third person perspective so get one of us fellow NorCal peeps to go for a ride and we'll give you some advise.
