It's all good. Here's what you do. Ride her in to your friendly service tech. (You know, the guy you're establishing a relationship with. The only guy you let work on your bike, so you know who's wrenching on it) and you politely tell him you'd like him to take it for a spin, and see if he hears anything unusual. (Might have to go through Service Mgr, but it's worth the sense of security) He'll take her out, adjust anything that's not normal, and you'll be on your way, whistling in the wind. Probably nothing, but never hurts to check it out, especially when it's a new bike that you're not used to. The peace of mind you'll receive will more than compensate for any little expense you might have to doll out for a short ride. Let us know. Good luck.

Yeah, I'd say its normal to start noticing little things after you get over the initial excitement. Put your hand on some different places in the area of the rattle when you hear it. Thats the best way I know of to locate it.
