CCT?
Valve clearance?
Other than that, loose clutch centre nut?

Impossible to tell without an inspection, really.

With most bikes you can take the clutch side cover off with the bike on it's sidestand and run it and listen- should be much easier to spot then.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

*except the storm, unless you want to run it with no coolant in lol :Ball Kick:

apparently loads of cbr600s do the same so dont worry unless it suddenly gets worse.
there is a honda manual for it in the hondamoto link in the workshop section ;)
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

According to James May in BBC's Man Lab your type 17 fuse hasn't been saturated in enough saltwater solution. Be careful though when dismantling as the zus-40 might scupper your day.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

All you need to do is reassemble the coolant pump onto the clutch cover, refill and tie it up out of the way.
You won't damage the engine if there's coolant in the system, even if it's not circulating, for a short while* so that you can listen out for noises.

*Short while= less than two minutes.
If you need longer, wait for it to cool again before re-starting- say fifteen minutes waiting time.
