The place to come to share your technical expertise, or just find out what the little springy thing is that's just pinged out of sight under the work-bench.

First thing il checked Nuggit its only on tickover realy loud when first fired up then goes to what you here on video its fookin killing me that much im using my Busa
Relaced and checked Stig both on and off the bike to eliminate that out ....
Same as before
Im getting used to it abit by now so it will remain a mystery for a while till it gets sorted if it gets sorted
Have you tried - with the motor off - tapping the exhaust gently with wood or rubber mallet. I was thinking this might show you what area the rattle is ( if this method produces the sound).
I agree with Stig - I think you have something in your exhaust system - possible swarf, welding dross, escaped washer or captive piece. I think whatever it is when you rev the bike the increased pressure is pushing on the loose piece or forcing it into a corner or trapping area until the pressure drops and allows whatever it is to rattle again. I am assuming you have checked all exup components if you have one. This is interesting please tell us what you find.
Mmmmm lots of good ideas im up Mancheser this weekend when i come back im going straight on to it....The exhaust was opened by my mate Wayne of
The Intergalactic Custom Shop Drag racing fame all baffles were removed so
