Mine got louder around the 150 mark. Took it apart and no problems. I'm just riding it. 1,000 miles and 78 hours. Oil always been cleaner then any bike I've owned.

Mine has a bit of a rattle to it with the clutch let out in neutral. It's not a rare "issue" on motorcycles, most bikes have a little tranny noise when idling in neutral. Seems a little louder when it's warm than cold (thinner oil), and I'd agree I didn't start noticing it until several rides in.

 

Does the noise occur when driving in gear, or only when in neutral?

[savy]

the noise goes away when the clutch is pulled in , in neutral or in gear, any gear. I also ride a ktm 400 exc - a sherco x ride 290 - and a early 60s ducati single (café) . they all make the same noise in the same situation, but barely noticeable. this noise just seems to much, it does take a lot of the enjoyment out of riding this bike. it is quite loud. maybe it is what it is.

Mine is pretty loud when standing still.  I could not hear it when in trail, good enough for me.

Old thread but I have the exact same problem with the same model and year. Did you ever find a solution?

[flywheels]

Just ride!  The noise came from the clutch throw.  It doesn't hurt anything and I wouldn't worry about it.
