All a pretty good and within spec.
Unfortunately sounds from what you say about the tensioner the chain is definitely suspect, It will be fine and will not break (Unless you are very very very unlucky) as there are adjustments left, mine was rattling like shaking a steel box of full nails before I finally changed it. A friend was 2 cars behind me at the traffic lights one day and he could hear it rattling :lol
It is not an engine out job although some do take out the engine and strip it to replace the chain with an endless one.
I used a split DID chain from Wemoto and it has been fine for the last 40000 miles.
The extra work over what you have done is removing the plugs and removing the cams, split the chain attach the new one to the old one feed it through, fit the split link, peen over the rivets. Put it all back together.
The most difficult part of the job is putting the chain split link together as it is a Hy-Vo chain.
However unless you are confident in joining chains I would leave it to a mechanic
I have seen Fazer chains last as little as 30,000 miles and as much as 100000 miles, could never understand the huge differences :rolleyes
