I cringe when it rattles, so I turn the key until it just fires and the shut it down. I do this three times to prime the tensioners and it doesn’t rattle.
That’s seems more harsh than simply letting it do its thing. Mine “rattles” for about 1-2 seconds if that. Lots of chains to be moving around all at once. Not a worry.
