Hay guys. Almost up to 6000k's on the 08 SV, I will probably put her in for a service in the next two weeks and I'll raise it with them, but i wanted to know if anyone else notices this. When i am riding, and the engine is at or passes 4500rpm the bike has a rattle in it. Its feels and sounds like its just the resonant frequency of the engine, maybe something that just comes about once the engine wears in?

Yes, this started happening to my SVS (an 05) at around 8000 miles. It's fairly unobtrusive, but the engine noise just subtly changed around then and took on a slight rattling noise. It's not really noticeable unless you know what the bike used to sound like.

I took it in for a tune-up/inspection and asked them to check out the noise. They didn't find anything wrong and I've been riding it for a while since then with no problem. I think it's safe to say that it's probably just a normal change in engine noise from wear-in.
