Clutch noise

I have recently started hearing quite noticeable noise from the clutch on my 2006 Tiger when at a standstill in neutral with the clutch engaged .
The whirring / rumbling stops when the clutch lever is pulled in. I have had this on other bikes ,and I know for some bikes its fairly normal , but it bothers me that I have only just started to notice this on my Tiger , its done about 6K.
Maybe I have just never noticed before.
Anyone else get the same thing ?

My 06 with 3500 miles is exactly the same. Not as noticeable as other bikes I've owned, but exactly the same type of noise.

Yes, exactly the same thing. More stuff is moving when in neutral with the clutch engaged.

Mine too. I first noticed it at around 20K so, at 47000 miles on the clock mine's been doing it for some while now. I understand it's "end float" within the gear clusters (or something like that) and is nothing to worry about.

Same here since day 1.

From what I have read, the Tiger is just like that.
Nothing to worry about.
