Noise issue

[Samdhi]

Hello. I've noticed this since the first ride on my FZ6 and was wondering if anyone else has the same issue. The engine (or the gear box... don't know which) makes a bit more noise in neutral with the clutch out than it does when I'm in gear with the clutch disengaged. It's kind of a low rattle sound (hard to describe). Am I alone on this?

Yes, you are alone..

Can you post a You Tube audio/video?

If it was an old Ford, I’d say throw out bearing.

Bikes with dry clutches rattle in neutral because there isn’t any oil to dampen the movement of the plates resulting in the unloaded plates vibrating against each other.

How’s the oil level in your bike?
