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.

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.
