1998 HONDA SHADOW 1100 ACE TOURER AS I WAS STARTING OFF IN FIRST GEAR I HEARD OR KNOCKING OR METTALIC RATTLING NOISE. THEN THE WATER LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER. WATER LEVEL APPEARS TO BE FINE
I've owned the same model, my uncle has the bike now. Check that your radiator fan is operating smoothly. Especially if the light comes on while sitting still, and goes off when moving. Check your Oil Level as well for cooling. Oil has just as much if not more to do with cooling. I'm sure you check your oil, but I can't leave it unsaid ;o) Could be the water pump, especially if you've ever put automotive coolant in the bike! But since a pump goes out and doesn't come back on it's own. I don't think your light would have cut back off.
You might want to have your water pump looked at.
