Clutch noise

Post by harrisonjc87 »

When my bikes stood on tick over with the clutch in its silent, when I let the clutch out (in neutral) you can hear a rattling noise. Is this normal? Not very knowledgeable with mechanics of bikes!

if its concerning you, try giving it an oil change if it hasnt had one in a while and balance the carbs up so the bike is running nice and smooth as this can help quieten the noise.
by the way dont change the type of oil your putting in i.e fully synthetic to semi synthetic or vise versa as this can cause clutch slip...........
