If the tensioner is at max extension, you need a new chain not a bodge to get around the tensioner being at max extension.
:agree
This was another one of those made up 'fake news' stories :rolleyes
Every auto tensioner on an FZS 600 or 1000 I've ever seen that so called 'failed' has been down to the owner riding style i.e. not allowing free revving, changing up way to soon allowing engine to labour, cheap oil and/or lack of oil changes which have buggered the cam chain.
