    I think that you'll have to give a few more details.

    Does this happen no matter what the speed?

    Does it happen in all gears?

    etc.
    Brrrmm - '04 XL650V Transalp in Silver

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    I have it on mine and I can barely hear it. It only happens when stationary and at tick over and when the clutch lever is fully out. I just think its the bike saying " come on, lets go "

    Does the vara have rebound springs that are fitted onto the clutch basket (perpendicular to the shaft and not parallel...) If so then these could be broken or loose..

    when the bike is idleing you will hear chatter and if you hold on to the bars there is a vibration through them but if you pull the clutch lever in the noise and vibration goes away. it is not noticeable when riding the bike,just when idleing.

    I noticed the same thing on mine a few years ago. Pointed it out to the dealer when it went in for a service, his reply was "Its a Honda" and told me not to worry. I haven't any problems

    Every bike I have ever owned, from brand new ones to old nails, has done this. Its perfectly normal providing it doesn't get excessive, if you hear it rattling away when driving along I would call that excessive, if its just at tick over don't worry. You want to try a Ducati, then you will find out what a real cluch rattle is
