Rattling on neutral

[Abdulla]

Is it normal to hear rattling when the bike is on neutral and the noise goes away when pulling the clutch? I have an r18 roctane 2024 bought it a week ago and it has 1000 kilometers on it so far

Yes - very normal. The dry clutch rattles a lot in neutral. When you pull in the clutch the throwout bearing tensions the clutch assembly and this reduces the rattle. mine sounds like a threshing machine at idle especially in Rock mode with the uneven idle. In roll it still rattles but not nearly so bad.

Cool thanks for the info mate

Hey can you record the sound please, because ive heard a few bikes and they dont sound as loud as mine, took it to the dealer and he contacted the factory in germany and they said to just replace the oil. Im not comfortable with the sound its making since its louder than other r18s ive heard.

I will the next time I get home and take a ride. It might be a couple of weeks.
