Vibration through bars

[Crozzy]

My ST1300 has developed vibration coming through the handlebars.
Its a bit noisy at tickover even when at normal running temperatures, but pulls really well and I don't feel the vibration while riding but as soon as I stop at traffic lights the vibration is still there.
I will try and post a quick video of the noise.

It is pretty common for the clutch to develop a rattle with a bit of age; it will normally feel quiet when the lever is pulled in and rattle when the clutch is out. Usually doesn't affect the bike in any other way than the noise.

Would the clutch require renewing or just put up with the noise

I've only ever had this once on my 1100 - vibration through bars and footpegs. It turned out to be the seal on the collector of a s/s motad exhaust that was leaking.

Now that might help as I fitted a new exhaust and I think that's when it started. Will keep you posted
