HP2 rattle at idle

[MiGSel]

My Megamoto produces a fairly loud rattle down under when running idle.

It stops as soon as I pull the clutch.

Any ideas?

Yea I was thinkin clutch too, no surprise

But what with the clutch?
It works just fine, so what can it be that's producing the noise?

Clutch pushrod rattling around.

One of the joys of boxer ownership.

My hexhead adventure does it. I tried covering the clutch pushrod with heat shrink insulation. It made all of no difference whatsoever.
I've had the gearbox off and found nothing wrong so just put up with it.

My hex head has a new clutch and still rattles in neutral until I pull the clutch lever in. My money is on end float within the gearbox, it gets worse the hotter the engine/gearbox gets but still shifts gears smoothly.

It's totally knackered and needs a lot of money spending on it, i'll give you £1500 to take it off your hands!

I read somewhere that it's gearbox end float. Mine rattles the same with clutch push rod taken out so its not that doing the deed.
Options -
(1). New gear box and wait for that to start rattling
(2). Fit new bearings and sort the end float in your existing gearbox
(3). Wear ear plugs.

2 has some merit - search "dodged a bullet in gearbox".
