Rattling sounds on my R7 engine

My 2023 R7 is making annoying rattling sounds like everything I've been reading from other people. I thought I wouldn't experience this and now I'm pissed. Anyway, all I am reading about are the problems. That annoying sound that grows louder at faster speeds! I brought it to the dealer and they said it's normal OR IS IT NORMAL BECAUSE IT'S A SYSTEM ISSUE? No one's helping. I'm gonna throw this off a cliff if I'm honest.

To those who had the problem and bypassed it... HOW?

Yeah I get you. What they mean by normal is probably a lot of people go to them with the same issue but they just won't call it a defect. If you're still under warranty, which most likely you are, then please do push to escalate with Yamaha. Otherwise they won't really look into it.

well, if it's a system issue, then it's not normal, right? if they won't/can't help you, you need to get a second opinion. go to another dealer or even a reliable and trustworthy mechanic in your city
 
I totally get why you're frustrated! sounds like a common complaint. While some folks might say it's normal, that doesn't make it any less annoying. for this, it's either you get a trusted mechanic or bring it back to the dealer
