Default 07 M50 Engine noise

First off Let me start by saying hello to everyone as this is my first time here.

I have an 07 M50 and from new the engine has always seemed noise to me. At my first service I asked them to look into it and they said everything was normal. I can't help but think other wise. The engine really seems to have a rattle/knocking noise on first start and will sound that way time engine temp starts to reach normal. If the bike sits for a long period of time it seems to get worse almost like lack of oil but the oil level is okay. We are in winter here now so riding it is out of the question but I try to start it a couple of times a month, but every time I do the noise just bothers me. I really like the bike but this noise has really got me worried and like I said it has been this way from new so it is not a new noise that has just developed.

I would really like so input on this.

Thank you

Jim
