Take care of the bike and it will return the favor. Check oil clean carbs grease chain and haul ass.

I had a rattle sound from my bike I just fixed. It was a loose bolt holding a clamp on the muffler. The bolt was rusted and stuck so I ended up cutting off the bolt. I took it to the bench at work and drilled out the bolt from the hole and re tapped it to fit a bolt I had. I didn't have metric nuts so I tapped the nut too! Put it back on and haven't had that sound since.
Maybe you have something loose?
