Have any of you experienced a loud chattering sound while in neutral? It only happens when the bike is fully warmed up. I'm hoping that after I do my first service on it that it goes away. I come from the automotive world where a clutch chatter means that the discs are seated properly... Can anyone help?

Thanks

I just posted a similar question. So you're not alone. Mine has been doing it since day one. I'm not sure if it's completely normal or not. The sound goes away when I clutch in.

I noticed this too when it rode out the showroom. During my first service, I asked the mechanic about this sound and he said it's normal.

is it just the clutch plates rattling?

Sorry didnt see where there was a post already started

Most of what we're hearing is the lifter and bearing spinning. The plates shouldn't audibly rattle.

Sorry to revive an old post. Is this the issue that you guys were experiencing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG0cywv5UjI My dealership is telling me it's an issue with the drive chain, which makes NO sense. I called to verify they weren't referring to the cam chain which would be easier to understand.
