That is just your chain moving around, off the throttle the tension goes from the top of the chain to the bottom and can slap around a little. Its perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
Rattling sound coming from lower left side of engine
OK so I've done some searching and found a few posts, but am not sure if it was the same noise. Sorry if this has already been asked/answered.
I have an 09 600rr with 10,000 miles on it. Im running mobile1 synthetic motorcycle oil. I just noticed the noise the other day and want to be sure that everything is ok. The noise sounds off between idle and 4000rpm and is most pronounced on engine decel. Happens when parked. It sounds like a loose chain that is slapping around momentarily. The noise is not constant. Seems to show up after the bike is thoroughly warmed up like say 15-45mins hwy riding in 80 degree plus weather.
I read one post that most likely seemed to fit that was talking about the oil pump drive chain, though I believe that was on an older RR (pre 07) and Im not sure if things are still done the same on the 09.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I'm assuming you mean timing chain?
Nope, you drive chain... the one that turns the wheel.

Um I wish it was that, but it makes the sound when the bike is parked, in neutral and u rev it quickly from idle up to 3000 - 4000 rpm, you hear it strongest as it returns down to idle around the 3-2500rpm range.
Sorry mate, I missed the when parked bit...
In that case yes, it could be the oil pump drive chain. You can inspect it by removing the stator cover.

No prob. Is it a wet stator or dry?
Wet, you can expect about a tablespoon full of oil to come out though, provided you keep the bike upright.
thanks :banger:
Let me know if this fixes it, this might be related to a weird vibration issue im noticing in my bike. Or maybe its all in my head lol
What should cause such a little oil pump chain to make such an audible racket that is heard over the engine exhaust even when reved? 🤔.Sorry mate, I missed the when parked bit...

to my knowledge of physics a chain that thin and short simply can't make such a loud sound, it would have done slung off way before you could ever hear it. Ask me how i know. Lol
