Front end rattle R1200S

[RIQUE]

I borrowed my R1100S coils and took the R1200S for a spirited ride today. Boy this bike pulls like a bull and flips like a mountain goat. Amazing indeed. Power is all there no more hesitation. However, at low revs I notice some rattling up front. I thought it was low octane fuel knocking but that sound usually is from the pistons rings.

Since I don´t know how this engine should sound I´m wondering if this is normal. The R1100S has some funky noises that seem to be common among all these bikes.

So far I have 1850 miles so she´s still in diapers at the stage.

not really you should spend some time to find it,
can bee loose fairings to anything in the engine,
cables will rattle if not routed correctly etc.

Mine had fairing rattles up front that I only heard with my earplugs out. They weren't metallic or knocking, but a rattle as you describe. I looked closely and couldn't find anything so I put my earplugs back in.
