Cant help but think we could all focus on any part in our bikes and convince ourselves to change it " just in case"....even to the point of panic.
Have to say in all my10 years of fazer ownership, I aint heard of a tensioner failure till now... :\
meanwhile several bikes have gone well over 100K miles with no mention of such. My own 2 fazers have racked up 37k and latest one now 40k with no engine issues at all. In fact the only " failure" on any part was a front wheel bearing on my first bike at just 9k miles, caused by an faulty batch of bearings.
My conclusion is where do you start and stop in " preventative replacement "....? :rolleyes
tbh I would focus more on keeping the bike well serviced and looked after than feverish bandwagonning to replace the latest part anyone suggests ....
