I got a cruiser and at idle it makes a rudder rudder rudder rudder (knocking, rattling) noise and when i put the clutch in it goes away and when i rev it gets louder 2. I think it mite b time for a new gear box or would it just be the bearings? if i was 2 get it rebuilt how can i tuffen the basterd so it can take a flogging

it sounds like your throw out bearing. most cruisers ive had rattle as long as you clucth works its still fine just one of the little clips that hold on has come loose.

Thats what sum of my mates said but why would it rattle when the clutch is out? i thought it would rattle if the clutch is in if the throw out bearing is gone? do u think it sound serious? cause it is loud...... farkin cruisers....
