2001 vfr with 56,000 miles Engine warm idling with clutch lever pulled in. no noise. release clutch out of gear and some noise and slight vibration. I know what a worn clutch basket sounds like and it is not it.The bike runs great and shifts normally up and down threw the gears. My fear is a bearing in the transmission ?. I usually notice it coasting at very slow speeds with the bike in nutral and the clutch not pulled in.Love the bike and hope it is nothing.
Maybe normal, but there's a bearing at the pressure plate. If you put light finger pressure on the clutch, not actually disengaging the clutch, does the noise go away?
Is there anything that could be holding the bike back from getting power from the engine to the ground? Bound wheel bearings, bound brakes, serious issues with chain/sprockets, etc?
