Default Motor Rattle

I purchased my 2005 r1200gs with just under 30,000 miles and am not really familiar with what these motors are supposed to sound like.
when i am riding slow in say 1st gear and decelerate I hear a very slight rattle.
it is never under load and only when letting off the throttle.
other than that the motor seems to sound great.
