Clutch rattle?

Hello.

Does anyone experience clutch rattling while idling at Neutral? The noise goes away when the clutch is pulled in. It started this morning. Its not like the Ducati rattle, but a worn out clutch basket noise.

My bike has like 100miles on it only...

I didn't notice it this loud on a Hayabusa or Blackbird before...

Also, there's a sort of turbo like whine from the engine, even when not accelerating. Its kinda irritating.

Both clutch and 'whine" are not present when I first got the bike.

Or maybe I"m just too sensitive? I don't have another ZX14 nearby to compare with though.

I think my cb1100F's clutch rattle has most any beat , that and combined with it's RS Flatslides make it hard to beat in that catagory

I don't hear any sounds from my 14 other than a very deep bass note from my Race slip-ons!
