    94 VFR750 ~33k miles. Did a run today about 60 miles round trip mostly highway to a car show. I get off the highway stop at the gas station and I hear ticking? Have never heard the noise from this bike before and while in neutral if I pull in the clutch the noise stops. Bike runs completely normal and starts up without a problem. Im curious if this is a known issue before I start stripping this bike apart.

    If it stops after you pull your clutch in, it's propably the clutch thrust bearing.

    As above, but apparently not serious. I think it has something to do with a conical washer that is supposed to take up the play in the clutch basket when its not under load. IIRC there is a thread on VFRD about fixing it if it really bothers you.
