rick Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I have a 2002 V11 Tenni. It runs ok and the engine is nice and quiet. There is a garbox rattle at tick over, this noise dissapears when the clutch is pulled in. My question is, do I have a problem or is it a case of "they all do that sir!!" Thanks Rick

Guest Eric123 Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 My 02 LeMans does it. I assume it is just the clutch---I think it gives the bike more character.
Greg Field Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 When the clutch is coupled, the rattling is the dogs of the tranny gears knocking together. When the clutch is de-coupled, the noise is the rattling of clutch plates upon splines.
Keith Foster Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 When the clutch is coupled, the rattling is the dogs of the tranny gears knocking together. When the clutch is de-coupled, the noise is the rattling of clutch plates upon splines. I've found if you pull in/out the lever several times while at a stop (in neutral of course) or coasting in to park you can always find a time (with the clutch lever released) where everything is closed up nicely and you hardly hear any rattles or nashing. I do this all the time now when I park. It also makes start up time later a quieter event (lets me hear the bella exhaust note better too). 2-3-4 times usually does the trick.

I just figured this out myself! Most of the time the rattle doesn't bother me, as both my previous bikes (Ducatis) had the same clutch noise, which I attribute to character. But it's nice to have the option.
guzzi jon Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 As others have noted, its a feature, not a problem
rick Posted July 25, 2006 Author Posted July 25, 2006 Thanks for your replies, it is nice to know I am not about to experience a major failure. I have tried the clutch in and out trick and it works, good to have a choice of noise. Thanks again Rick
richard100t Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Doesnt the Tenni have the single plate clutch like the Scura & Rm?
Martin Barrett Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 Doesnt the Tenni have the single plate clutch like the Scura & Rm? Yes they are all single plates. If I understand this correctly the Scura has a different single plate clutch to the other two. I don't think it is just a case of a later batch of "the same" but is actualy different. I haven't seen a part number comparison so I don't know if I've got the wrong end of the stick.
