I had this awful rattle, sounded like the top end was coming apart at a lower rpm about 2-2200. I found my exhaust shield was bent so fixed that. Next ride it was worse. I was scared it wasn't going to make it. Stopped and checked the oil couldn't find anything. Got home loose exhaust shield clamp so thought I had it for sure. Next ride same thing, but seemed louder. This time took a ride to get an inspection sticker and didn't want to turn around it was only open another hour. Louder than ever I really didn't think it would make it home I was certain it was the top end and something let go or got bent since it seemed to be louder. Popped it on the kickstand and it was super quiet again. No ticks or noises. Got back on nothing. Put the kickstand up and bingo! The little rubber thing that the kick stand rests against was twisted and it was kickstand on frame. Not saying nothing's wrong but these sounds don't always tell you where they are coming from. It never sounded like the back it always sounded like it was coming from the front of the engine
