my new gs500 2004 makes a small rattling noise when im at a stop the dealer said it is common on twins  can anyone verify   it doesnt sound like diesel engine but it does remind me of one

[yamahonkawazuki]

it may be the exhaust note, can you elaborate on the noise in more detail? :dunno:

[gitarman]

could you be a little more specific? Where is it coming from? It could be something as simple as a lose bolt....

thanks for the help i think its the sound that everyone has been discussing on previous post   the rattling or knocking when you idle at a stop  :dunno:

I've noticed the same sound.  When idling it sounds as if it is coming from the engine, maybe valve lash or the like I'm not sure.  But I was told by the dealer that is pretty standard.

some of the other guys write that it goes away or you get use to it I took it to the dealer and they said the first 600 miles it burns alot of oil and to keep ading till the first tune up and it was low
