Depends how loud the rattle is. Mine has always had a slight clutch rattle which goes away when you pull the clutch in, so, yes, its normal unless its really loud
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

Very well put Paul, I'd agree with that :!:

Slightly more so when the engine oil is hot I'd add to that.
