my 2022 does.it sometimes for a few seconds on a hot startup. not in the least concerned.

Mine smooth at 5k and higher, 10 secs or so of ticking on some warm starts and otherwise nothing.

As for oil pressure, watch the oil sightglass as you start up- see the level sucked down- all that is going thru the engine and up over the top end. If the oil pressure light isn't coming on then pressure is at least nominal. Not sure what the big deal is here.

At 900 miles now, only get a rattle for 15 secs or so on some warm/hot starts. I stuck at 6k for the first 600 miles mostly because I was commuting- went higher for a few moments a few times when road circumstances permitted it. 600 mile oil change showed no metal on the magnet.

I use Rotella T4 15w-40, I only rarely hear the rattle- maybe a second or so sometimes on a cold start, maybe up to 3 secs occasionally on a warm. I have 2500 miles on the bike at this point.

I finally got mine comfy the big wins were bar risers, moving the controls inward, rotating the bar back a bunch and drilling new holes to get the controls rotated better. Nicer rear shock and fork internals help a lot too.
