Noise neutral clutch released.

To start im a newbie here, so hi to all u vfr fans. Just bought myself a 2002 vfr 800. Got a pretty noticable rattle when clutch released neutral, noise goes away clutch pulled. Normal? Clutch basket? Got appointment next week at garage. Thanks for infos

 

It is propably the clutch basket, not much you can do, and not much of a problem.
It can be like that for years without any issues. Just normal wear.
If its the thrust bearing, you will feel it a bit on the clutch lever.

 

Bike only has 39000km...

 

It is normal and a well known characteristic, they all do that.

 

In many cases a proper throttle plate alignment (synch) will minimize or eliminate that problem.
