My bike has 200 miles on it, so that may be a little premature, but I'm just thinking.
I used to drive a drag race car. Some tracks required mufflers to appease local home owners. The 1st time guys could hear the mechanical noises made by their engines and chassis it usually scared the crap out of them. Race engines have bigger clearances and therefore rattle like a worn out cotton gin.
