    When my 96 360 has been riden for, say, 20 miles or so I notice my clutch makes a rattling noise. Not very loud but softer noise when I pull the clutch lever. I figure the clutch operating rod is loading the clutch basket away from the engine? Do you fellows report similar clutch noises or should I perhaps take a cover off and go exploring?

    i have never noticed a noise on mine that changes while using the clutch...so i guess i would say i have not heard your noise

    Nope mine just sounds like a bag of spanners and am just waiting till said part breaks free then i will be "ahh thats what that noise was"
    No clutch sound that i can detect as its too loud.

    I'm thinking that my approach as well. So long as it goes we'll just listen to the rattle.

    really shouldnt be making any extra noise unless powervalve is rattling a tiny bit...anything else is something definitely wrong imho

    I rebuilt the bottom end last jaunary replaced every bearing with SKF or INA its not them unless a shafts out of tolerance.
    The powervalves dont sound like this its like piston slap but worse lol.
    Ive worried about it for around a year shes still going the sounds not increased.
    I'm thinking shes just a raucous gal, like them southerners ;)
