Rattle on new SP 500 EFI

I took a new 2008 Sportsman 500 EFI with all of 6 miles on it yesterday for a short test drive. I noticed a rattle coming from the front of the atv. Is this a normal occurrence?

Both my 400HO and Hawkeye do it also. Sounds like engine is pinging or detonation, but dealer says its normal.

I had a couple loose things in my front storage that would rattle around when I hit bumps!?!
