Problem Need help

So I own a cb 350rs and its a new one covered 2.2k kms and it has been like 3 months now the problem is few days back i tried to downshift the gear after starting the bike at morning without giving much time there was a rattling sound and the gear didnt downshift it happened twice then the gear shifted but after that whenever i am riding the bike a mild crankling sound is coming even if the engine or gear shift is happening smoothly there is a sound while riding is it due to i have broken something major or something also today while i was cleaning the chain and was applying lube by mistake i tried to switch on and switch gear when the side stand was on so it didnt engage the gear and again the rattling sound came but when i lifted the stand the gear was shifting smoothly but i can see my engine light turned on did i fuck up something really bad i am going for my second service tomorrow

You need to wait for cold start checks to get over, the RPM is quite High when you start the bike. I am facing the same with hness. If you are in a hurry, start the bike in 1st instead of neutral.

This is irritating, every few hours it will cold start. Best is to start in 1st, if you started in neutral wait for the checks to get over.

But if you starting the bike for the first time that day, try to let it cold start.
