noise

hi, This thread is likely only of use to someone installing a two way radio, ham radio. and I hope they can help. Well I decided to mount my old HT (Icom w32a) on the bike for a trip. I have just used a ram mount to hold it and I am going to alter a battery eliminator that I have to fit the BMW...

My 08 GS started making a weird sort of rattling noise at idle which didn't make before (I have 28K miles on it). What's weird is that I noticed the noise stops if I pull the clutch. I am not sure how critical this is or it will get in the short future but I am expecting to spend some $$$$ soon...
