Clutch Rattle Noise

[srweaver1969]

I have a 2012 R1200RT with 19,000 miles on it. She is in fantastic shape, however, I've noticed a rattling sound comining from what I think is the clutch during idle. Whenever i engage and disengage the clutch it goes away. Otherwise, during a ride, the clutch performs perfectly. Any ideas if this is something I should be concerned about?

normal. dry clutch like on a car. no oil to damp vibrations

When that type of rattle creeps up on you it is time to check the synchronization of the two throttle bodies. When out of synch the imbalance side-to-side can cause this type of rattle.
