    I have a rattle in 3rd at around about 3000 rpms that sounds like a small pebble inside a can.

    Have checked the exhaust and no rusted or snapped struts as well as checking the center stand and cant see anything loose there. Although I haven't taken anything apart yet as relatively new to working on my own bike.

    Any help would be appreciated in finding the source.

    Also only happens when on the move not stationary.

    Could it be a slack spot in the chain? If you run the bike up to 3,000rpm in third on its mainstand, you may be able to isolate the cause.
