Hi Guys
Have a 2016 1200RT with 30k on the clock. Just bought bike around 3 months ago and have put approx 900 miles on it due to bike laid up over winter. When I’m stationary and idling there’s a chatter from either gears or bearings and this goes away when you pull in clutch. Been in motor trade al my working life and this used to be associated with either gearbox bearings worn or excess lash in gears but this may be standard on this model - to into dealer where I bought the bike and they think it’s ok but they are not MOTORAD dealers , looking for advice ??
