I know this is quite a time after the OP but I've been reading through every post I can find since getting my new bike. After removing the airbox, installing pods, installing 2 washers on needles and moving mixture screw out 2.5 turns, on taking it for short test runs I do hear a rattling noise. Such that I've searched the chain cover and exhaust to make sure nothing was loose.

Is this from overheating or running too lean? I should be receiving my new Keihin jets today so the lean condition would be fixed after a few tests. And another poster here asked about the exhaust turning blue near head, which mine also is starting to. Luckily I can't ride the bike around for too long(to do much damage) as I'm getting issues from dept of transportation when going to register it, so I have a huge interconnected developement I can get it around pretty good but not too long of a time period.

Thanks in advance should you guys be reading this again

edit : mine is a 2007 but I'd assume these signs are universal
