Rear wheel ever-so-slightly engaged in neutral

[steved]

I had the bike up on the centre stand the other night and when the bike was in neutral and running, the rear-wheel slowly rotated.

With the rear wheel on the ground, there is a little vibration when the bike is in neutral which disappears when the clutch is pulled in.
Any ideas as to what might cause this? I'm hoping it is nothing tooooo serious in my transmission :calm:

Normal friction drag through oil/transmission/bearings. Many bikes do it - mine certainly does for a minute or so. Feel relieved?

Vibration is probably clutch basket rattle - another common thing with bikes.

It's normal, don't worry. Cars will do it as well, I remember a 323 I had as a kid that you could actually see move a little when letting the clutch out in neutral.
