Loud Rattling

Hello Folks,

I have a loud rattling sound coming from my bike these days. It appears to occur as I am speeding up while in first gear. It is faint while at higher speeds, obviously due to wind noise. I know its not the usual odometer rattle because i fixed that. Last night the rattle was pretty loud. Rattling stops when I pull in the clutch and coast. Any Ideas???? Oh yeah, the rattling sound appears to speed as the bike speeds up?

I just painted the tank and got paint around the the edge where the gas cap sits. will check head light and all those things. Ever since I fixed the speedo rattle all these other sound appear lol. I guess its to be expected. Thanks all.
