Little End rattle

[JonnyB]

On the DOHC CB650, I'm developing a rattle when the throttle shut, particulaly when going up the gears, or when the thottle is shut off when changing down when comming to a stop.

Is this beginning of small end wear?

Never seen a small end go in a honda Mate unless run so low on oil its siezed, check cam chain tension first
