I have only had my blast for 2 weeks now, but I am hearing a tap/rattle when I give it throttle. It remains consistent through all gears although harder to hear at higher speeds. Has anyone else experienced this or am I being paranoid with it being my first bike?

If the tapping is consistent and in time with the RPM it's likely just the tapping of the valve train. Air cooled engines make lots of valve noise.
