Rattle when throttle applied
I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic yesterday. The engine started to give a rattle sound whenever I would apply the throttle. It sounded like it was coming from the right side of the bike, but I could not tell for sure.
Once I stated moving, the rattle sound went away. Could this be a sign the engine was starting to overheat?

Prob something loose. Do a nut and bolt check. Start at the exhaust mounts, then the check the motor mount. It's good to go through every 1000 miles or so. Something always coming loose on these bikes.
