What brand skid plate do you have ? Put 50,000 miles on my 13 without any sound like a hammer on my Yamaha skid plate, that same skid plate is now on my 18.Mine does this at about 4300 RPM sounds like a hammer hitting the skid plate...I padded the plate for sound still does it...I'm over it 35,000 miles runs rides great...just sound bad at 80mph when I speed up it goes away;-)
But yes I would say the 1200 Yamaha is generally a rattly sounding engine even though it ain’t going to fall apart.
