If I pull up to a stop with the bike in gear and the clutch pulled in, the 'tapping' noise is not there, but when I go into neutral and release the clutch, the tapping begins immediately. Can reproduce by putting it back in gear and letting out the clutch slightly - noise disappears, only to reappear when back in neutral.
I think I 'spoke' too soon: the tapping does not disappear when in gear with the clutch out slightly. Still hear it only when motor is hot and at idle.
And, the noise does not go away when pulling in the clutch.
