Hello guys! 
I noticed strange knocking sound when clutch is not under pressure. It is coming from left side of the engine, when sitting on bike. I recorded video, hopefully you can hear knocking. Does anyone suggest what to do? 
 

i heard that a lot of vfr have this knocking, but since this is recently purchased bike for me, I don’t know what to expect. 
 

thanks for your comments

Congrat on your "new old bike" 😀

 

I don't get any sound but it's normal with some rattle from the clutch basket. At idle, in neutral and clutch released. Disappears when clutch lever is pulled. If this is the case I would not worry about it.

It happens because of wear in the grooves on the clutch basket. Friction plates can wriggle and that results in the rattling sound.
