So last night I am riding and I hit a few decent roller jumps and I get a a bad rattle. I pull the sled over and take off side panels and put my hand on everything I can think of to try and stop it, Checked weights, secondary, Belt pipe cover, and can't find it. So I continue to ride and it sounds like it's coming from the clutch and only really rattles when letting off the gas or going slow, When I get home I can't stand it. So I tear into it at 1 am, Wife is pizzed because dogs are barking I have it on the stand reving it up looking every where. I also found water in my intake when I had the hood off. So I silicone everything up, Frog skin on intake was coming off so I siliconed it back on, Pulled primary off and check weights again. I have a broken primary spring it was just the end, maybe 1" broke off, I was like woo hoo I found this rattle. So I put it all together. silicone the springs and take her for a rip and my rattle is still there, Put 12 miles on couldn't take it, I went back home tore it apart again and found a piece of alum in the belly pan. I have no Idea what this could be it looked like a mini piston with no rings, I texted pictures to the dealer and come to find out it's the nut Holder for the twin spar tubes. So take the tube off and the bottom half of the holder slid down the tube and rattled like mad I could make it do it just by tapping it, So if you have a rattle you can't find check the spar tubes, Dealer didn't have one in stock so pulled one off showroom sled. Great dealer. When I put it back together I siliconed the nut holders in so if they break again they wont slide down the tube and rattle.
If you have a rattle. This may be your problem

Good find. I was just going to say that it is a good idea to pull them all out and silicone them in so the don't slip or rattle around.

I also had an annoying rattle, was the hea shield on top of the ecu. Pulled it off, gave it a strech. And rattle gone.
That is a great dealer. Which one is he?
