Anyway I put the bike in my kitchen for 24hours where it was nice and worm. Started the bike the next day and the 20 second noise on start up had gone. So it looks like it's the cold weather that does it. Something to do with the metal shrinking more then some of the other parts when really cold. My garage is not heated so when it's -2 outside my garage is -2 . Started the bike on the second day and started with no noise and sounded perfect.
Mine does this on a cold day too, very slight rattle for 15-20 secs on a cold day. I saw a thread where Kev mentioned it being something to do with a 1 way oil valve in the clutch somewhere but there wasn't a follow-up post unfortunately
