Hi all I have a zxr400l race bike and it's got a really bad rattle sounds like it's from the clutch .
I have changed the clutch and clutch basket and it's still the same ? The noise stops when you depress the clutch lever? Don't think it's the chain?
Has anyone else had the same ? Or can anyone help. Thanks Paddy

Re: Bad rattle
That sounds pretty terminal, does the noise change with clutch pulled in.
They all rattle and pulling the lever shuts them up, but that's excessive.
Either a fitment issue with the clutch basket or that's a big end/main bearing/ camchain knock/rattle

Yes it's nice with the clutch lever in . I'm going to change the needle bearing in the clutch basket and if no better I will split the cases and have a look at every thing else. Thanks Paddy. Ps I will keep you posted. Paddy

Re: Bad rattle
Hello Paddy, I am experiencing more or less the same. Did changing the bearing solved the problem?
