    Hi,

    I've noticed recently that my Bonnie's clutch seems to make a noticeable clattering sound, but only when it is fully warmed up after a ride. When I pull in the lever it gets slightly louder. No noise at all when cold. Other than that the bike runs perfectly, no clutch slip or trouble engaging gears. Is is a case of they all do that or should I investigate further? Bike is a 2013 with 11,000 miles.

    Thanks

    The clutch should not make that type of noise, unless it was on a Ducati.
    And I agree w/ DD, try changing the oil and ensure it is a motorcycle specific semi or full syn oil.

    Hi,

    Bike had an oil and filter change about 4 months ago, with recommended oil.

    I've got a Ducati Monster with a dry clutch, so know how noisy they can be!

    Cheers
