what rpm is normal when idling(and warm)?

Hi,
my cinq sporting idles at about 950rpm when warm(hard to say exactly but its just under the 1000 in the rev counter)-just wondering whether this is 'normal'(ie ok)?i ask because there is also a slight metally rattle coming from underneath when its idling also-a sort of grumbly exhausty sound-odd because the exhaust and cat have both been replaced within the last few months.
Any help would be much abliged!
Cheers.

I'd say that's normal compared to mine, but then again mine isn't running in tune very well so may not lol. Rattle could be anything thats loose.

Its probably cat heatshield and body interacting.

Requires underbody remodelling with a BFH
