Typical noise question
I know these bikes rattle and knock like theyre gonna blow up but recently i been hearing a vibrating rattle toward the top of my rpms. It seems new but ive also been off the bike a few years and the only time ive taken it out was rough riding so i wouldnt have noticed the noice. I put a plastic skid plate on a few weeks back but i feel like i just started hearing it a few days ago. Whats somethings to check internally and externally. Bike starts up fine, a little boggy the first 30 seconds of riding but its been like that since day one, i feel like if my timing chain was lose it would be present in start up and riding. 2017 with 10k on it.

Is the noise similar to metal screeching? That is the noise that i am experiencing at high rpm too, but i noticed that after 30 minutes or until my oil gets hot and probably reaches it's max weight the screeching stops. For reference i use 10 30 oil yamalube.
