Right on! Yes, mine is minus the loud noise that sounded like the damn engine was destroying itself from within too.Hydraulic cam chain tensioner - gotta be the crappiest designed item Honda ever produced.

I modified an old FZR CCT and stuck it on mine. Works great!

Is that what that annoying sound that makes the my bike sound like it is about to explode when I start it sometimes? The CCT? Makes that Clunkity clunk noise for about 1-3 minutes until I get the bike warmed up?? But even after I have been riding it for about 1-15 minutes and shut it off for about 5-10 minutes, when I start it up again it makes that clunkity clunk noise.

That's exactly what it is...the cam chain tensioner.See, the stock Honda CCT is oil pressure activated and over time wears out and starts to loose its ability to keep adequate tension on the chain...resulting in the valves being out of correct timing. So when your oil biulds up enough pressure to put tension on the chain, then the noise goes away...

See... my noise is even when my bike is warmed up meaning its my clutch. Because when I pull the lever in, its quite... and when I let it be, its clunking. Guess I gotta get a kevlar clutch kit...

Jahnaboi, all of our clutches do that, just the plates rattling around... I dont think it means anything is wrong, it doesn't happen all of the time for me though fortunately!
