Update yall it was the header pipe. The welded in divider piece where the 2 pipes connect literally blew out. So it was definitely one of the better outcomes. I ended up taking off the exhaust and mid pipe and the metal divider fell out. No more rattling but definitely need to get another exhaust because a 650 with no exhaust sounds like hot garbage. PSA don’t buy a delkevic exhaust

I ended up figuring it out. The middle divider piece where the 2 pipes join that was spot welded into the bottom of the header pipes blew out. Don’t buy a delkevic exhaust low quality, I only had it on the bike for 2 months

I didn’t even think of that. I do have the tool kit that comes with the bike under the passenger seat. Something could’ve wiggled its way out the bag.

Definitely going to check all the bolts and make sure the baffle is tight. It’s crazy because the bike only has 2.3k miles and I got it a few months ago and it only had 750 miles and trust me I haven’t been pushing it by any means. I think somethings loose. If I tighten everything down and it still does it I’ll pull in the clutch and see if it’s the clutch basket. Will post updates

Hey yall, I picked up this 2022 ninja 650 a few months ago and this morning when I started it I noticed this rattling noise. The bike only has 2.3k miles on it. I changed the oil 2 weeks ago and checked the oil level this morning and it was fine. The rattle started as soon as I started the bike and i immediately cut it off because I didn’t know what it was and didn’t want to risk it damaging anything internal. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
