| I had a similar problem with annettes 2000 SPS, I eventually traced it to a loose flywheel! this is after a 2 year service which cost nearly £1000, To identify if this is the fault you need to listen to the engine at idle, does it sound like noticeable clanging from the clutch?, like worn plates or clutch drum. If it does remove all the clutch plates from the drum and restart the bike and listen again if you still have that worn clutch rattle get the flywheel nut checked ( i also had to replace the shim behind the one way clutch bearing behind the clutch).
I hope this is not the cause but please check it as if the flywheel is loose it can damage the crankshaft!!
