Disagree.
Normal. Mine has been like that from day one
Asked dealer about it a 600 mile check up said is normal
Have a 13 rs. 11000 miles ago still does it no issues.
Ride more worry less

Yep, but it's the transmission not the clutch. Classic "gear rattle" -- when the clutch is engaged in neutral, some of the shafts and gears are turning in the transmission; when the clutch lever is pulled (disengaged), nothing is turning. All manual transmissions (automotive and motorcycle) will do this.

Well..!!
To a point. Mine with 31,000 mile has always had a different sound when clutch is engaged. Should not be drastic and may change with oil levels /and or temps and oil types and changes. Always use the best oils you can get....
