Throw out bearing or transmission rattle?

Post by wardie »

My 1994 R 1100 RS with 43, 000 miles has a rattling either in the throw out bearing or in the transmission. When the bike is running at idle (1,000 rpm) with the trans in neutral and the clutch lever out I hear that rattling. When I pull the clutch in it goes away. Someone told me it was the synch on the Tb's and I checked they weren't off much but I still got them very, very close and the rattling is still there. Some have told me that's the weay they are they all make some noise like that some louder than others? Is it something to be concerned about?
