it could be any number of things, could be as simple as something loose that is vibrating aghainst metal. try greasing the speedometer cable. Where does the noise come from, front or rear? does it make the sound under load or can you replicate the noise with it on the stand?

check the center stand like evilone said and make sure there is oil in the rear trans case. btw it is not going to roll all smooth and quiet even though pushing it the clutch doesnt engage the bell housing and trans gears still move
