BVEBRAD Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Has anyone else noticed their FJ-09 making a different noise after placing the bike in neutral then releasing the clutch? It almost sounds like a throw bearing going bad. I'm also noticing a similar noise at very slow speeds in first or second. I'm off to the dealer Tuesday if it isn't raining.

ncrider99 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Yes, I have the same noise when I release the clutch at a stop light. I don't seem to have a similar noise when traveling, but I will start paying attention. Not sure what the noise is, the bike runs and shifts smooth. I have about 1800 miles on mine. What is your clock at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfart Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 It's completely normal for this bike. Don't know why it's so noisy but nothing to worry about according to the numerous posts on this topic here on the forum. Mine does it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericm Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I can't say what's going on with your bike but on mine when in neutral there's an additional faint rattling noise from the primary drive with the clutch out. I've had that in other Yamahas and other bikes with similar primary drive design. It's normal. I think it's the primary gears rattling together because there is no load on them.

BVEBRAD Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I currently have a bit over 1400 miles. It definitely was not making this noise before but I'm relieved to hear that it is a normal trait of the bike. Thanks for the feedback.

zachd Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 This sound has tripped me out too. Glad to know it's not just me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wessie Posted December 28, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 28, 2015 clutch plates can rattle when not under load - my Tracer makes this noise. As I've had bikes with dry clutches in the past, which are even noisier, I don't worry about it. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

misanthropic Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Mine does it too. Nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattraxx Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 7k miles on mine now and the noise has been the same as day one. I mentioned it during my first service and I was told it was a known and normal condition. I've learned to ignore it as it doesn't affect the ride.

xpress Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Mine does it, my buddies R6 and R1's did it too, normal for these bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnie Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Just noticed this on my FJ09. Glad to see it's not out of the ordinary. 1500 miles on the clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDog Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 13,500+ Miles and the rattle is the same as when I 1st noticed it... No worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracermonkey Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 All yams have clutch chatter. It's the clutch damper springs to blame. Nothing serious. Just a quirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
