Well, I found the following Yamaha "Tech Tip" originally posted by bama13V (thanks), and thought it might be of interest to some here. I will present this to my dealer. Based on past experience, I'm worried that his reading ability will suddenly be as bad as his hearing and he won't be able to understand what it says, or worse yet he might just deny this is correct ... - wish me luck! ~ kevin

I found the tech tip, it is from the latest yamaha tech tips sent out by yamaha, I do not have a number attached to it , nor do I have a scanner but it says....

Sympton:

" on some 2007 XVS1300 models, a rattle noise may be heard when the transmission is in nuetral and clutch lever is released. The noise stops when when the clutch lever is pulled in or the transmission is not in nuetral"

Cause:

"The primary driven gear on the back of the clutch basket is dampened to reduce drive/driven gear lash noise . In some cases the dampning may not reduce the gear lash noise susufficiently for a customers' expectations. This gear lash noise sounds like a rattle near the clutch area of the engine. While not a defect, the noise can sometimes be reduced to a customers satisfaction."

Remedy :

The primary driven gear dampner was changed on the 2008 models from a rubber cushion type to a spring type to reduce rattle noise . I n addition the 2008 model primary gear has slightly more gear lash to reduce whine noise ."

The 2007 primary driven gear will be superceded to a kit containing the 2008 parts in the table below "

the box that came for mine ( which has never rattled ) had a complete clutch assembly except for the two gaskets for the side case and clutch cover ,

I can fax it to someone if you want BUT it is a tech tip not a service bullentin, so it seems as though they will fix it but not issuing a service bullentin , and any Yamaha dealer should have recieved the update bullentin book and that is where we found it , one page . 6-6

the part number is 99999-03812-00 Driven Gear Asst Set .

I voted Moderate - but only because there was not a catagory between none and moderate. There is some rattle, but not all the time - and it has improved over time.
Had I not heard that other riders had complained about it, I probably would have not even noticed it. My bike is great - I can live with a little rattle sound now and again.
