SOS...Clutch Noise on a long trip???

Sounds like an awesome adventure. Glad things are running as they should. Keep the painted side up.

Glad to hear you havin a good time there.
Putting my bit in,clutch rattle, it could be throttle bodies will need a balance by the sound of the symptoms, nothing to worry about at all and quite common.
Jap bikes suffer from this alot when carbs/throttle bodies go out of sync.

What everyone else said...My 06' Tiger makes a moderate racket when idling with clutch handle out - pull it in to disengage - noise goes away. I also asked the same question last year - glad answers are still consistant from the more experienced tiger owners. I invested in some decent ear plugs - hardly hear it anymore.

I have it on my 2002 Tiger and my 2002 Mercury Cougar is the third manual transmission car that has also done it.  I don't even worry about clutch noises anymore unless I have a slip problem.
