That should have flushed out whatever oil remained in the oil cooler. Replaced the oil filter, and filled it back up with 10W30. Started the bike, and sure enough after running for 2 to 3 minutes the rattling came back. I also notice that as the bike warms up it seems as the noise is going away, but it actually moves up so lightly just above idle, giving the impression that it's gone. Reving the motor a little to 100 to 200 rpm above idle will reveal that the rattling is still there, but it does go away past that. Frustrating for a new bike I only had for a few weeks. Off to the dealer it goes first thing in the morning.
Ghis,
Sorry you did not get the same results as several of us, did you take bike out for a 15-20 mile ride?? You need to get the oil flowing through the tranny and fully warmed up otherwise you'll still hear the noise. I would give it a good run and a video of what your hearing would be helpful.
