Bout 500 Miles On Her, Anybody Else Noticing The Knocking In Neutral Other Than Me. Then As Soon As You Shift Out It Stops... Normal?

Are you hearing clutch clatter?

Any change in the noise with the clutch in vs. out?

Mine is the same. Light flywheel + transmission gear tolerance?

Mine makes a little more of a racket with the clutch out in neutral, and it quiets a bit when I pull it in.

Nothing like a Ducati's clack-clack-clack... but the 1125R definitely has a distinct clutch clatter in Neutral with the clutch out.
I like it actually.

I also like the Ducat noise. To me it sounds like toasters fugging.

What's the eventual outcome of that?
Bread or blenders?
Ah.. it is a Ducati.. a Cappuccino machine.. of course!

Maybe I am deaf or have an untrained ear, but I don't hear the clutch noises you guys are referring to....

Put the bike in Neutral.
Pull the clutch in (as if to shift) and rev a bit.
Let the clutch out and rev a bit.

Notice the difference in sound & vibration?
I can feel mine thumping on the ground when I do it.

Will try that in the morning.

Dude, stop bragging. And stop doing that; you'll go blind.

May want to check primary chain, sounds like it is too loose.

I like the extra noise,since there's not enough coming from the exhaust. I think it's it just something normal with this engine that were not used to hearing.
