Open the cover, Your crank nut may be loose. This is the one toward the front of the engine if you are unfamiliar with these bikes.

Yes, a bad belt, especially one with some bits starting to unravel will cause much unwanted rattle.

I agree on this. Having seen my share of trashed belts on various machinery. Another source of a rattle could also piston slap. Or a clutch issue.
