Will someone please answer the question!

 

Clutch free play is adjusted properly with about 13mm of movement at the end of the lever?

 

Yes clutch free play is good.

 

Clutch grabs good and doesn't slip only issue is when I rev engine in neutral with clutch engaged and then quickly pull clutch and push into first it'll grind/clunk hard into gear but not every time only if say I am coasting down hill in neutral and attempt to put bike in 1 or 2 gear it'll grind/clunk into gear. On top of the noise below 2k rpm's, the rattling noise as if something is loose and is rattling in clutch or engine, don't think it's clutch cause it makes noise even with clutch all the way out but in any gear below 2k rpm's while moving. Sorry for such a long response it's my daily and I'm kinda concerned. Thanks!

 

The coasting situation happens because engine speed and trans speed aren't matched. There are no synchros to mesh and get things up to speed before the gears meet.

Try to avoid reving and shifting into first while stopped, too. Same principal, moving engine, stopped trans, again, no synchros.

The rattling could very well be the infamous Yamaha tick from the hydraulic cam chain tensioner. Only fix is a manual cam chain tensioner.

Hope some of that helps.

 

Operator error (no offense)That's all normal... You shouldn't rev in neutral with clutch out then quickly clutch and drop into gear it's gonna be rough... Also double clutch when cold helps get the plates unstuck from oil suction and smooths out the first gear drop...
The rattling noise is normal at low rpm it's a combination of clutch basket and the gears rattling from not being loaded up underpower

Also this gen doesn't have a hydraulic cct

 

I'd swear I read 2008, I didn't pay attention to the subforum, just clicked from the main page, my mistake.

Flip side, CCT could be out of adjustment...

 

Thanks for responses, I'll look into CCT and the gear shifting with trans and engine at dif speeds knowing that helps. Still the rattling is not normal I know that for a fact, it seems to be in gears cause at times when stopped i know these r1's are notorious for ticks and noise but this is louder than normal, it didn't do this when I first bought it and say I am rolling with clutch in at 2 gear and give gas and let clutch out its a chattering almost like something grinding until I get above 2k rpm's then goes away seems to be in clutch/gears cause I can feel it through whole bike but specifically that area. Almost like something is broken or gears are loose or something is loose till it picks up speed, could be bearing somewhere that is loose? I'm not sure. Also when I give gas when chattering/rattling happens it seems to speed up but it's killing me because it doesn't effect overall driving performance just when going that slow. Thanks for the responses!

 

Trust me they rattle like hell below 2k... Also if you throttle up some as your releasing clutch it helps to load the trans and there not as loud.. It's just the way the gears that aren't engaged are floating on the shafts... If there was a bad bearing or broken gear the sound would increase with rpms... Also like I said the clutch baskets on these the springs rattle a lot if it's sitting there idling pull the clutch hold it for 30 seconds and see if it quits down some..
Unless it's ungodly loud or a serious grinding it's normal, post a video

 

I still say check the CCT, I swore my bike made all sorts of noises till installing a manual CCT and adjusting the slack. At 10,000 miles you shouldn't be having any issues.

 

That's true, I'll do that thanks!

 

That's true about throttling the bike when letting clutch out it isn't nearly as loud or goes away completely. Thanks for response

 

The oil I used was Lucas semi-synthetic 10w40 and it got more noticeable after oil change. Should I use a different viscosity or brand, in order to lessen noise?

 

I've used a bunch of different brands and even tried conventional and synthetics and I've noticed very little change just the nature of the beast.. Pretty much whatever you can get local that's JASO-MA should be fine...

 

Cool, thanks!

 

So another question I've been told my cam chain tensioner is either possibly bad or loose? Is the CCT on a 2003 manual or automatic cause if the CCT is issue would I be a good idea to get a after market manual CCT?

 

Stock are automatic (spring and lock style)
And yea there are manual ones out there
