Another question on a new 1125 (with about 200 miles on it) that I'd appreciate having some insight on from experienced 1125R owners....

I notice that when coasting to a stoplight, if I hold the clutch in and coast, everything is very smooth and I coast noiselessly to a stop. However, on the occasions where I shift into Neutral and then coast to a stop, I hear a slight rattling sound as if the transmission may not be totally disengaged from gear. My riding buddy claims that this is okay, but I wanted to make sure that other 1125R riders experience the same behavior before panicking!

Thanks for any feedback you can give me on this!

i have a pretty hard time getting my bike to go into neutral most of the time. never had it rattle like that though. it has rattled in gear but never neutral.

If you're stopped in neutral and work the clutch you can hear the difference. It's just part of the tranny turning that doesn't when the clutch is pulled in.

Yes, this sounds normal to me.
