Hello,

I recently purchased an 03 YZ85.

After riding it around for a few days, I noticed a new sound today.

Only in neutral, when I fully release the clutch, there is a rattle sound inside the clutch compartment. This sound goes away when the clutch lever is pulled or put in gear with the clutch pulled.

Any ideas? I am going to pull the clutch cover off this weekend just to do some measuring and check things out...

Thanks,

The clutch basket bushing may be worn, the push rod thrust bearing may be worn. My yz450f had that rattle from day one when i bought it new in 03. It may be that you just never noticed it before. Definitly take a look but if you don't find any issues or any damage, i wouldn't be too worried about it. They do have a normal rattle to them.
