Loud rattle.

[Anglosaxon]

The day has finally arrived !!!!

After 9 months of f*$*@)g around with my EC300, I am booked to go for it's maiden journey with a friend on Sunday (gentle laning in case...)

I have one more issue I would like to ask about please, although I am not sure if it is related to the 'sticky' about the Powervalve.

When I pull away, there is, in each gear around the same RPM, a loud rattle noise.

Not there at low RPM in each gear, appears as you accelerate, and then goes as the revs rise. Change up and go through same procedure again.

Anybody any ideas please ?? MTIA

Ok 3 things spring to mind.
The chain guide leaves a lot to be desired. Check for wear on guide and chain, adjust and see if noise changes. Bigger rear sprocket may make worse.
Next pv, read threads about that
3rd detonation. If non std needle, (std is rubbish but rich) try lift it a notch and see if changes. Make sure not using low octane gas.

pipe ?

check the pipe ? mine wasn't bad sitting and revving but moving it was causing a far bit of noise.
