    Im hoping someone here can tell me if this is normal. I got my 2013 1200f this summer with only 3000 miles on it and have a noise that is really bothering me.

    I researched it and convinced myself it was normal cct noise, but id like some input. I've watched videos and read lots of threads, but havent seen anything exactly like my experience.

    My bike makes a very audible rattle/knocking when cold, but not when i first start it. It will start and idle in the driveway just fIne without the slightest ticking. The noise begins when i stop at the end of my block as the rpms slow to idle. It doesnt make any noise if i give it some gas, just at idle and as the rpms are dropping to idle. Clutch and gear position dont seem to make a difference.

    This all suddenly goes away when the bike gets warm. It will make the noise at a stop light, I'll blip the throttle and it won't do it again the rest of the ride.

    Does this sound like cct or something else?

    THANK YOU.
