Rattling sound from engine
I filled up today with 89 octane but the tank before was 87. After getting gas I left the gas station and went up to 7k RPM under 1/3 throttle. I heard something that sounded like valve train rattling for just a second.
I think it's because I was running less than 91 octane but I don't remember hearing it before but I had both windows down w/o radio.
Any suggestions?
P.S. I got 21.57 MPG this time. Keeps gettin' better 'n better all the time!

The hamsters are just flat out tired................j/k........
I have had that happen one time. truned out to be just a bad tank of gas. It cleared up on the next fill up . Ran the same octane both times and used the same station (BP).

Wish I could go but I'm going up to T.W.O. for March Badness on my Buell on Hwy. 129. Erik Buell himself is going to be there and I want to hear what he has to say about the 2006 models. Ya'll have fun and be careful...
