I have a raptor 350 and it makes a rattling noise when it get into the mid rpm range. It started occurring after riding home one night following a sudden loss of power. I babied it home and took the valve covers off and everything seems okay. I don't have a gaping tool so I cant be sure on the clearances but they don't appear crazy loose or anything. I change the oil at least every 10 hours but I do ride the bike hard as well. I rode it from my back yard to my front and it runs great, just makes a rattle after and during mid rpm. Hoping its vavletrain related and not the bottom end or something.
Appreciate all the help.
 
make sure all the motor mount bolts are tight first
otherwise it could be crank bearings or connecting rod bearing going
could also be the cam bearing going too
