Default Clutch rattle...?

Hi guys,
My 2006 1200gs with 40000km on the clock has started make a rattling noise coming from the clutch.
The noise only happens when the bike is in neutral, but stops as soon as the cluch lever is pulled...?
Bike rides fine, no noise, no slip Or vibration just this annoying rattle in neutral.

Any ideas...?

Regards
James

My bike is the same. 100,000K's and rattles its head off. Any fix would be much appreciated.

Earplugs may help

When you pull in the clutch the transmission stops spinning. Perhaps the gears are rattling due to vibration (just guessing).

Sounds like clutch buzz. My clutch did it too when it was new.
