Gab, do the obvious thing, and check your oil level just to be on the safe side. Roadies don't use oil as a general rule, but hey, never hurts to check. I do agree with the others, when these motors lug, (gear too high , hard throttle) they rattle, plain and simple. Rev it cleanly, gear to gear, and see if the noise lessens. Bet it does...., here's to hoping. BB

Road hard last night and the noise was still ther until I had to get gas!
I was getting my gas at HESS and it's all 10% Ethenol. The bike ran perfect after I got gas from Shell. I really don't know if it was the gas for sure but it's quite a coincedence.

It's the gas.On a trip through Pennsylvania in june we used Hess gas and everyone's bike ran crappy. Pinged and rattled. Stick with a top tier gas
your bike will be happier

I always stick to top gas like 76, shell, mobil no off brand or "cheap gas" the .7890 you save is not worth it. .00152 anyways

I apologize gab. I usually try and tell people to give a different brand of gas a shot but forgot all about it. It can make a big difference. Hope she stays running good
