I can say that I know for a fact what was rattling in my 02 sxr. At 1232 miles for the most part the motor is junk. Piston skirt let go sent millions of pieces down into bearings and blew a hole in the bottom of case. I guess the $100 in gaskets would have been worth it to check the pistons. She won't be back on the trail till next winter.

She was lake raced two years. Carbs froze-up a couple times while racing before deciding to leave carb heaters on all the time. Took alot of abuse on the track, never skipped a beat. She'll sit till next season now.
