I dont know if it,s a common sound on a storm.
While the engine is ticking over, I can hear a rumble/ chattering sound coming from the left hand lower housing.
Now, when I pull in the clutch lever it stops. Could this indicate if any a problem wid the clutch. It works fine apart that.

Oh also , some times whilst changing up gears, I have to nudge the foot selector before I feel any pressure for the next gear selection.

Any ideas as to what this could be whould be of great help.
:) :) :)

Noise nowt to worry about if it goes away when clutch lever pulled in, try adjusting your gear selector lever up or down till you get a nice smooth action.

Clutch rumble
A lot of Hondas seem to have it my VFR’s done it for the last 3 years with no problems just a bit annoying with the sound

best fix for this i found is get some of those exhausts that have had the words " not for road use" scrubed off them...
solves so many issues with hearing things..

Hello Chukky.

maybe I should try singing when at traffic lights. Mind you dont know what would be worse, the chattering or me singing .

Hire yourself a Ducati with an air cooled clutch for a week :lol: as those sound like a box of spanners jumping around :!:

Then once back on the VTR you'll think your bike is quiet :wink: :lol:

Seriously though as others have said that sounds normal :!:
