Rattling noise FIXED!!!

The other day when I was riding I noticed a little rattling noise around 4000rpm thought I might just be hearing things. but when I started it today it was doing it sounds like it's comming from the upper part of the motor maby the cam area once it warms up its not so bad it still does it around 4000rpm though.
maby it's the cam tensioner I hope thats all it is.
I just put 1000 miles on it, my 03 never did it anyone ever have this happen too them???

reed valves in the emission system?

Needs block-off plates maybe?
