Help!!! Rattle noise
Hey everyone, been a while since my last post due to busy work schedule. I have this annoying rattle that seems to be getting worse. I originally thought it was in the valve train but now sounds lower. It gets pretty noticeable at 2200-3000 rpm. The shifter inserts were rattling so I "tightened" them but still there. Sounds low and about center on the left side. Now if I hold shifter it is still there. Is it possible that something in the primary is causing this high pitched rattle type noise? Adjustment maybe? Any input would be appreciated. I have gone over the whole thing and no loose stuff. Won't have time to address it for about another month or so due to the fact I am moving. Might be able to get to it sooner but moving is now the priority. Thanks in advance.

Check your Y pipe as those tend to crack and can sound like a rattle. A possibility is your primary chain or a louse comp sprocket. Pull the inspection cover and check the chain to make sure it's adjusted correctly. You can also cover the hole with a piece of plastic taped over it to keep the oil mess down and run the bike to hear if the noise is comming from inside the primary.
