bleed the clutch first, maybe fluid change.
might be thrust bearing a bit worn - shop manual is best place to start, in knowledge base :thumbup:

sounds daft but carb imbalance can make your clutch rattle as well bud - worth doing if you haven't already :thumbup:

Err!
they all do it, don't spend too much time trying to track it down. Even if you change every bearing in sight it'll still come back after a few miles :wink:

Especially at traffic lights sat next to other bikes :evil:
Disappears as soon as you let the clutch but no one notices because they are too busy covering their ears from the sound of the exhaust :lol:
:D :D :D

Do like me and get a 916 as a second bike. That'll cure it.
