Jim i have a 2000650 vstar, a 2001 1100
vstar,2000 Royalstar, and a 2003 roadstar
(yeah i love yamaha's) and i havent found a rattle like that in any of them.
Take it back to the dealer and tell them what ever they did dint work and get
your money back.

Could be the bolt holding the tank in place - it seems to be slightly too
long allowing for a rattle to develop. Throw a couple washers on each side
and crank it down on them. Might work - did for me.
