Will let you know what this dealer says....BTW- just put on a Baker +One oil pan and have seen a 15-20 degree drop in oil temp!! I could not believe the difference in quality over my stock pan!
I have exactly the same problem. Startup at cold and it rattles from low RPM until 3000. As it starts warming up it starts to quiet down. Also the same after a long ride and stop for 30 minutes, it starts to rattle again until it warms up (usually around 2 minutes). I have 10,000 Miles also and am also worried what the hell is going on. Is it a lifter failure? Have you had the dealer look at it with any solutions?
