kDiqq, I have mixed up Honda USA, and the Honda dealership on this one. All that Honda USA said is that it was coming from the exhaust. The Honda dealership thinks it's in the catalytic converter, but who knows.
Since I still don't care much for this rattling, I have decided to go back to a more reasonable starting, and warm up procedure. I will now start the bike, and not wait 4 long unnecessary minutes until the rattle shows up, just so I can hear it, because that's actually crazy. I will ride (obviously above idle), and within a few minutes, the motor will be fully warm, and thus no longer display any rattling. Rode the bike around all day today, and never had to listen to that rattle even once. It's amazing what riding my bike as it was simply intented did for me.
