Possibly your alternator. It can jam and the belt snaps or slips so much it shreds it. Take the plastic cover off (very easy) and have a look.
If the belt snaps the battery light will come on and you'll be draining your battery to run the bike. Won't last long. 100 miles if you're lucky.
Your oil level okay too. That can cause a rattle. 1200's are know to leak oil from the sight glass window and also the cam chain tensioner bolts.
