    I have an 02' with 17k on it. Last few thousand miles I hear a rattle sound coming from the cat converter area. Sounds like a peice of metal "bouncing around in the pipes or converter. It is loud when bike first starts; as it warms up the noise seems to go away. Any ideas of what this issue could be?
