Hey guys. I'm new at this forum thing please bare with me. I just bought a 2006 xb12Ss last summer...first bike. Rode it home 2 hours and it was great. A few weeks later noticed a ticking noise from lower end. Changed oil and transmission fluid and added lucas to both and noise is still there. Rattle seems to go with engine speed but sounds like its coming from the transmission. Had transmission serviced and no change. Also it makes the noise sitting when not moving. Is this the "death rattle" I know nothing about?
 
Positive its a new noise?...

These enginnes are full of crazy sounds!

If nothing fixes it a louder pipe sure will!
 
+1 on primary chain tension. Check it. Mine loosened up on me. Rattled pretty good at idle.
 
I already had the primary chain adjusted but did not do it myself. I think I'll check it again when the weather warms up a little. Thanks for your input.
