Default Clutch out rattle!

I installed a Hayden tensioner (https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/923488-love-the-hayden-m6.html) But I;m now getting a whole lot of noise in neutral with the clutch out. Pulling the clutch lever in stops the noise, but it's BAD.

Any ideas? It sounds like there is no oil in the engine until I pull the clutch in.

What was the distance between the shoe and the base plate? Did you have to use any of the spacers that came with the tensioner? Did you adjust your clutch properly after the install? If the noise was not there prior, it's either the tensioner is set to loose, too tight or your clutch needs to be readjusted....also, did you add fluid so it's just visible at the bottom of the clutch pack?

Your bike might be too new for this, but that is one of the symtoms of the inner primary bearing failure. Hope Im wrong, but search the subject if you cant find the problem.
