Default Nuteral rattle

My 92 Fxr has slight trans rattle at idle, sounds like gears but it does it with clutch in or out is the thing, not real loud just there.i posted a while back my bike has gear whine , I took that video in the dead of winter her in ct, since it has warmed up it does not seem as loud even though we have not had many days over 60 this spring. Anyways I am probably over listening , but it does sound like it is coming from trans, give it a little throttle and it stops, Tranny shifts great and goes down the road great

Have you checked the tension on the primary chain?

Yes, I have checked primary chain, adjusted clutch, it is on right side of bike and does it after it is warmed up, does not sound like it is coming from cam chest, seems like Tranny area, first time i noticed I thought it was loose heat shield .

May want to pull the trans side cover to check the ball and ramp. It's probably ok if your clutch is working good, but I'd have a look. I'd also check the kickstand springs and hardware. Your bike is going to vibrate more at idle and smooth out some when you put some throttle on it. Probably something is just loose
