1200GSA engine rattle

[miffolump]

I've noticed a fairly loud metallic rattle from the engine when I'm in 6th gear, on my 07 1200GSA.

It only happens momentarily when I'm on the motorway and I accelerate from, say, 75mph back up to 85mph (ie. if I've needed to slow down for whatever reason and pick my speed up again).

Doesn't happen at any other time, or in any other gear. The bike has done 5,000 miles.

Anyone else experienced this?

.......take it back to the dealer. Just because it's a beemer boxer twin doesn't mean it has to have loud metalic rattles from the engine does it?....better be safe than have a failure at 80mph......
