Default Sounds like a rattle can

My new 50 now has about 1100 on the odometer. Around 600 miles, I noticed a new sound crop up on my way to get the all-important 600 mile service.

It only happens at certain RPM's. I hear a sound that can only be described as a beebee rattling around. I didn't notice it until the morning I took the bike for the 600 mile service.

At the time, I thought it was the gas. I accidently put regular gas in the bike (was instructed to use premium by the dealer and haven't had time to verify it in the book). So when I first heard the noise, I thought it was pinging. I thought I'd run a tank or 2 of premium, and it would go away. Well, it hasn't.

What is this noise, and is there anything I can do to fix it? I informed the shop about it, and I guess they didn't find anything when they did the service. No clue. I could always take it back to them and have them take a look. Anyone have any thoughts or a similar experience? I did a quick search and couldn't come up with anything.

Thanks in advance.
