To all of the experienced Guru's, I have an issue with a hard rattle when de-accelerating. This is until it warms up and after that it is almost gone. the bike has 93000 miles on it and I am sure it has been well taken care of. I have heard of people calling them a "box of rocks", and this is what it sounds like. I thought it was coming from the timing chain area, so I have pulled the cover, taken off the guides and there is almost NO wear. No rubbing on the cover either and the ratchet tensioner was working as the chain was tight when taken apart. Is this a normal sound that I should get used to? was I hasty to pull the cover? I do really Love the machine, and it rides better than any bike I have owned! I get it! Any ideas?
