Title: ZX6R 1997
Description: Bad Rattle on slight throttle

:991 Hello to you all, I get a rattle from what sounds like the clutch or gear box when I flick the throttle in neutral. When I pull the clutch in it doesn't happen and also when it has warmed up it isn't as bad. Is this normal or do I have a problem.?

I had a Problem simmilar to this on mine - 96 ZX6R - Turned out a couple o the bolts from the downpipes/headerpipes into the block had worked loose a bit.... they just needed tightening up........
Well worth a check....

I agree, and i would check any other bolts in that region. could also be a sign that the gearbox oil is low. Also do not rule out timing chain issues. good luck

Hello mate,

I have a 1997 model as well and can't say i have the problem, which isn't a help i know, but if it was me i'd just get it into your local dealer, especially as its a new one! :dzq
