hi looking for a mechanic whos familiar with xb12r i have a 04 xb12r that needs some love and i dont have the time to do it im located in janesville wi thanks
 
i have a really bad rattle sound on decel once its warmed up sounds like its coming from where the header mets the head but i nut and bolted the whole thing everything is tight header doesnt appear to have any cracks anywhere or any exhaust leakin around there figured if i found someone familar with these bikes they would have a better idea than me what it is also prob needs a tps reset cuz sometimes it will hang up at 2 grand and wont idle down
 
Hanging up at a higher rpm with the throttle closed could also mean an intake leak past the throttle bodies. Has the throttle body or airbox been removed recently?
 
found the intake leak lil rubber plug was missing on where the cali. bikes would have a evap hose prob should do a tps reset anyways but this rattle is drivin me crazzy its a really loud metal on metal sound is the best way i can describe it hopfully i can find a mechanic whos encountered this before
