So i took it to the dealer yesterday, and he had a listen and said all is fine.

He then started up their demo bike, and it sounded equally as rattly.  I did the right thing sending it to them i think... just incase something does actually happen and something needs to be replaced under warranty.

Warranty?  All you need are ear plugs and a happy go lucky attitude. :)

If it's the auto decomp then it should be fixed. I heard the video, and it has way more engine noise than my 05.  After all, it's a whole new design, that's supposed to have cured all those noises of the old design. Hydraulic lifters, no primary chain etc, but that rattle is O.K? Why?

Mine does the exact same thing as in Sub's video and only has 200 miles. Dealer told me to expect it when I bought it with 19 miles on it. Said was the auto decompression valve. Waiting to see if oil changes make it go away. Other wise will just get louder exhaust! ;D
