I think I found the problem. The clatter noise seems to be coming from the water pump.
First off, I am getting a higher temperature in idle and during riding, in this weather which is 2 C.
Second the sound pitch changes with the rev. of the engine.
So I will be taking apart the pump cover as soon as I get an idea of how to do it.
Anyone had a problem with the pump before?
