I have the same problem, on stand and on the road. I increased the idle by 200rpm which settled it out but now I've got some sort of rattle from the chain only when I coast or pull the clutch in at slow speeds... :(
same noise on my 919 at 26k miles. Runs fine off stand so I'm leaving it as is. Curious as to what the problem is and the fix. Got new chain/sprocket on mine at 30mm play
no didnt been told kawasaki is much worse cos its catchup on the gearbox not under load but i dont think thats right sliped of clutch side and checked tab nut was not loose behinjd clutch that was ok so im just running it as it is no play on double bearing on drive side gbox will see if it gets worse who knows could be catchup with no no load you dont say weather yours was on stand when you tried this and any clonks when ya riding bike on change gears
no the kawasaki is worst but i herd the bugger when leaving trafic lights replaced chain sprockets etc and not to bad now think it was the verry badly stretched chain that did it but it looke ok then when i got it off well new one needed
hello ., i am also having the issue of gear box sound..when i ride bike around the speed of 50 60 and i press clutch ...the dug dug dug dug sound comes...i dont know the reason behind it..if you found the solutionof this...please let me know.
it's catch up on the gearbox due to being on stand and running but new sprocket and chain solved it chain was also unevenly stretched
