My ZXR400 never had any rattles until it went in for a service. Now it's got a rattle!!! At first I thought it was tappits 
Took it back to the garage (Nick Lloyd who's been a bike mechanic for 35 years and has mechaniced for racers) and he said......"aaah sounds like a real ZXR400 now"
He said it sounds like cam chain tensioner as it adjust automatically and will sort itself out.
He did say if I was that worried to take it back but it doesn't seem to be anything serious.

well i'm told the ducati ss400's are actually quite reliable, largely because they are a sleeved down 600 or 750 making about 30bhp, so there's no stress on the engine at all!
