Same with mine, took a while to realize the noise quit when I touched the front brake. Annoying little sob's.

If that's all it is great but it doesn't do it cold and when I hear odd noises I like to know it's nothing important before I ignore it. I will definitely check those when it jingles next

When mine makes that sound it's the exhaust heat shield. It doesn't always do it, seems to need to be just the right conditions and it will rattle.
The weld for the heat shield clamp on the front pipe had broken on mine. I patched it with some hi temp the epoxy, JB Weld or something.

Here's a video. Easier to hear in person. It's not the exhaust shields or brakes. I touched everything nothing stops it checked the battery box too

Definitely something loose... Check to see if you have an exhaust heat shield hose clamp break. I had one break and it sounded JUST like that.

. Checked all exhaust parts and clamps. I actually replaced those recently. Had a busted one before

. Nope. Starts when it's warm normally but today I heard it cold. Went for a ride and did the video when I got home. I just rechecked all exhaust bolts and heat shield clamps too

It is the gasket in the cross-over pipe. The asbestos is all burnt out and only the metal ring remains. What you are hearing is the metal ring(looks like a copper washer) vibrating in the pipe.

Heat causes the pipes to expand when hot and it gets loose.
