2 Questions about my 2014 Vaquero

If the oil is at the correct level then no need to add more. How many oil changes have you done since you bought the bike last year ? How many miles have you done since the last oil change ? The lifters can be noisy for a little while if the bike has been stored all winter.
Are you sure the rattle is coming from the driving light ? The 1700's can have a rattle from the ignition switch surround. Put your hand on that piece next time you are out for a ride.
Are you describing a headlight rattle or are you talking about aftermarket lights in the fairing ?
