My dealer fixed mine at service and after a good thrashing i started to notice some clutch slip! I re adjusted it when its hot! But the lever has much less movement than before!
Rattling sound while accelerating
For the last 150km or so I've noticed a loud rattling sound coming from my engine/clutch or something, but only while accelerating.
Sounds similar to.. something like a screw loose on a moving car while the wind and vibration is pounding at it.
It's quite an embarrassing sound when pulling away at a red light after people have been staring longingly at the bike...
Took it to the dealer the other day to have it checked out, they don't hear it while it's just standing there being revved, but when they take it around for a short ride they hear it clearly.
Workshop guy said I might have to leave the bike with them for a day or two while they strip it down and investigate
Anyways he's asking our Kawasaki if anyone's been experiencing anything similar and if they have a solution, before they take anything apart.
Will probably only get a response on Monday or so.
*sigh*
Will keep you guys posted as they happen.
Thread may come in handy for anyone else that experiences the same thing in future.

did it cry when they took the rattle off it like a baby does?
what did they do fix it?
They took it apart, put it back on, made it as tight as possible, greased it real good, and that seemed to solve it. They said if it ever comes back, they would slip a o-ring in there to cushion it, but it hasn`t returned yet.
