To some extent I try to ignore..but I cant 100%.....I will always be looking for an answer....im sure it will come some day.
Possible the Triumph techs have a specific procedure for the valves, sequence and all. Might be a good idea to talk to one and bring it in and see what they do if possible.
Hopefully that will be a long time down the road.
Last new vehicle I bought new was in 1975.....I still own and use that.

After a couple of weeks, the engine is still a lot quieter than before, but I can still hear the faint clatter appear and go almost as quick as it came.
I'm going to just ride it now and enjoy the bike.
After you have dealt with the issue and taken it to a dealer to sort out, that's the best it will be!
We seem to forget that this is a bit twin, there's bound to be some engine noise, even if we feel its not a good sound.
With a set of Zard silencers on the bike, it makes for a better sound, gives the bike a bit of character.

Sounds Good SB.....I have just accepted it going to rattle when cold.....not much more I can do....most of the twin watercooled dont do it.....I feel let down by triumph.
Still love my bike though.
Makes it not a whirly Honda. It's your bike talking to you, like a cat does. My Triumph twin has been chattering away for 51 years.
I agree with @solomon, it’s in the nature of some engines to do some talking. It’s been looked at and adjusted by a Triumph mechanic so it should be in the acceptable talking range. Point is to know when your bikes talking is excessive and when normal. Sounds like it has a morning greeting, I’m waking up let’s ride! Just enjoy.
Well thats one way to look at it I suppose.
Enjoy and ride it. LoL.
aftermarket Zard cans with the DB killers.
tggill.....can you tell me what Zcard is please.

How is your bike going Scramboy.....rattle still quite.
Its odd....during this hot weather....my tapping is there soon as the motor fire up cold.
I have noticed to same each summer on hot days....stops sooner as well.
So outside air temp related.
Mmmm long as it gets no worse...I just live with it....still would have liked to know though.
Been back 3 times....Triumph just say....long as it goes after it warms up ignore it.....not what you want to hear.
Plenty of other owners have the same problem.....other prob have just not noticed it.
Its out of warranty as of 3 mths ago.
