Re: Engine "Chatter"

Easy, I thought it might be the clutch due to the fact that when i pull the clutch lever in during this "Chatter" it seems to stop the sound briefly until i release the clutch lever. The chatter is most aggressive at the top of the gear range... (the point of upshift at every gear.

at 18-20kms/h chatter.......28-30kms/h chatter.....

you get the picture.. however the manual has ALL kinds of reasons for noisy engines..

Why does pulling the clutch lever cause this sounds to cease... simply because of less vibration by calming the engine?

I DO remember when i changed the oil awhile back it was better but not 100 %...
Im not looking to have a showroom bike, however... Id like to stop this vibratory chatter without going deep into the engine or sumthing...

does this point in any direction to clutch plates??
