OK, let me start off by thanking everyone for the "continuous" information on the "Cane". I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and have learned more here than a normal person learns in a year. I'm getting used to the way it handle, smells and sounds. I keep reading about the noise being made by the cam chain and the hydraulic adjuster. Is that what causes the rattling sound (like 2 pieces of metal vibrating together) at 3-3.5K rpm when the bike is cold?

 

yes

 

its called the cctl.. cam chain tensioner lifter. NOT cct

 

And it's not adjustable? I've got to get a good manual. As long as it goes away upon warmup it's OK?

 

Correct...for the most part anyway...mine only makes noise when my oil gets low(like towards the end of the dipstick)....doesn't make noise any other time(thank god), if your worried just get the manual one from APE
