My K 1100 LT 1997 rattles for a second or two when started,then quietens
down.Is that an oilpressure issue?
Where can I find a list of aftermarket supplies( oilfilter,fuelfilter,etc)?
Thanks
Gary

Mine does that also, After it has sat a day or two, it will do as you describe, I think its just the oil has drained off the cam chain and it rattles until the oil get back on it, Kind of like some hydraulic lifters use to do after they sat awhile..

Here is a link to some other stuff and maintenance items
