Rattles when cold
My '03 XT600E (11,000 miles) has a noise which is driving me nuts. In the first 10 minutes or so of running from cold I get a rattle when I load the engine (just give the throttle a slight open up) - it's almost like pinking. After 10 mins the noise is gone. Is it just a cold,air cooled single settling down? Probably nothing to it, but it would be nice to know if it is common. Strangely I get the impression that the noise comes from the rear end of the engine (hard to be sure)- gearbox area. It doesn't seem to be valve gear.Any input appreciated.
