Out this afternoon testing some changes to the bike when I think something broke. I was travelling up a gravel track when I heard what sounded like a rock trapped behind the ally mudguards and rattling around. After a while it hadn't gone away so I stopped and took a look at the bike but everything appeared in order. When I set off again it was still there so I pulled up knelt by the side of the bike and revved the engine. It sounded like someone dropped a nut into the engine and it was rattling around inside. Bugger!
I couldn't leave the bike half-way up a hillside so I had to ride it back home (around 15 mins). The bike ran OK but still rattled all the way back.
I've ordered the gaskets to start pulling the engine down but I wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar so that I can start with some of the more obvious failures?
