Honda clutch rattle

Hi

My CB650C had terrible clutch basket rattle at tickover especially when it is warm in this hot weather. I was told these models were prone to this. I was also told that balancing the carbs would sort this out but it seems not.

How do I go about fixing this?

Cheers

John

If you pull in the clutch lever at tickover, does the rattle reduce? (Sign of unbalanced carbs)

Hi

Yes when I pull the clutch in or rev it up it goes. But I had the carbs balanced. Should I get them looked at again?

Cheers

Carb balance is the LAST thing to do on the service list, everything else must be done first

Hi

So what should I be looking at doing first to eliminate my clutch basket rattle as nobody will buy it as it is!

Maybe it is time to cut my losses and eBay it as is. Shame because I really like the bike and I have invested a lot of time and effort into it. There is no point having a really nice nice straight bike that is a dream to ride if it sounds like a pile of dog turd!

Cheers

John
