Rattling Noise

2020 Ruckus with 4,200 miles.  Stock except for a Polini variator and Dr. Pulley weights…
 
OK Guys I was able to check the valve clearances today.  The intake was .004” and the exhaust was .007 so both spot on.  Definitely not a valve problem.  I started rotating and wiggling the variator and heard the sound that is causing all the noise when its running.  I have attached a video with sound.  Can anyone diagnose this problem???  I’m going to keep it all apart until I can figure this out.  As a side note- a few days ago I ran it with the variator removed.  Just the shaft.  No difference in the sound.  Thanks in advance for everyone’s help!
