CB500 Rattle

[AHurdwell]

Hi Guys,

My CB500 has developed a metallic rattle between 6000 and 7000 rpm.
I'm hoping its exhaust baffles but what else could it potentially be and how would I check?

Thanks!

Edited: It should have said 6000 rpm....

Cam Chain?

Cam Chain or Tensioner, How would I check?

Doesnt sound engine related from what youve said. Ignore the above.
Sounds like something on the bike is loose and rattling. Give it a good going over and check.

Have you got a metal cooler cover? Mine has a 'buzz' at certain revs.
