I've not tried it personally so not entirely sure about that, i know it's a very tight space to get to.

Also I have heard that the noise can be because the CCT is stuck and waiting to move to the next notch?

You might get a rattle for a while in between clicks, i think they have about 12 notches on them before the chain is totally shot.
Some people just take it out for a blast and try and encourage the next click, but it will do it on it's own when the time is right.

I had a look at it today and fook me tight aint the word!! I can't be asked to force it to the next notch...seems hassle carbs off etc..

When i said take it out for a blast, i meant scream up the road at high speed! (70mph of course)

Went down to my local yamaha dealer today. The head technician was there from yamaha uk diagnosing a fault on a new machine. This man has 40years expertise's! I let him have a listen to my engine and the noise etc. he said if that was cam chain noise it would be a hell of a lot louder than that mate. That sounds normal to me.. He did also say if you hone in on a noise then it will send you totally mental..this from a top yamaha bod..

Pretty much sums up what most people have said; videos seem to really highlight some specific noises of the Fazers engine. It's very hard to hear your cam chain noise and its probably impossible when stood next to the bike - if it needed adjusting / changing you would hear it immediately and it would be clear as day

So, time to get out and enjoy it!

also he did say to me a lot of noises people hear in engines is just metal expanding

Okay  :lol

[Kentish]

But then I guess he is right metal expands when it's hot

Dead Eye is right about video noise though, and i found that mobile phones highlight noises even more, which can be a good or a bad thing depending on whether you want to hear things or not?
