I had R&G case covers and HP leavers + Rearsets fitted by the dealer when I bought my RR.
After a while I noticed a metallic rattling noise. I found that one of the bolts holding the right hand side case on had worked itself almost lose!
The dealer put it back in and tightedned it (it was under the fairing so I wanted them to do it).
I then noticed that the bolt holding the exhaust to the RHS rearset was lose.
I've tightened this, but I can still hear a slight, metallic, rattling noise most noticeable around 3,750 RPM.
Is this normal / to be expected? I'm 100% listening out for this after the loose bolts, so am worried that I'm just being paranoid!
 
No your not mate. They all rattle a goodun and mine seems to be getting worse. Like you say around 3750. It's nothing to worry about so they say. I have some really good ear plugs that do the trick
