2009 1125CR engine noise at low RPM

Hi there!
I bought a nice 2009 1125CR and I noticed that, lower than 3500 RPM the engine rattles and want to stall, making a metallic noise.
So I have to keep it at more RPM, finding this difficult when I need to drive a low speed situations.
Is this normal or can be a mechanical issue with my engine?
It is chain drive or belt drive for the camshaft?
If is chain, that could explain the noise, but, it is normal or my engine need a repair?
H has 54k kilometers done already.
