Anybody replaced stock cam chain tensioner with manual one?

[delirium]

as a cheap insurance against stock CCT failure? 

I read mant of these are failing in different yamaha bikes.

I am going to do that this or next year, but my motivation is different. I am getting annoyed by a ticking/rattling sound coming from the engine at about 4K rpm. The same issue(feature) is described on the FZ-09 forum and some guys manged to get rid of this sound, switching to manual tensioner.
Haven't found any manual CCT for Tenere 700, so I emailed APE guys to ask if they have a plan to develop one. They replied that tensioner for YTFZ09-PRO will work. Yeah... same engine.

what you mean same engine      but probably that part can be the same,   BTW many failure of CCT on FZ09

 

Wondering if manual tensioner is absolutely bullet proof?

Vou fazer isso neste ou no próximo ano, mas minha motivação é diferente. Estou ficando irritado com um som de tique-taque vindo do motor a cerca de 4K rpm. O mesmo problema (recurso) é descrito no fórum FZ-09 e alguns caras conseguiram se livrar desse som, mudando para o tensor manual.
Não encontrei nenhum manual CCT para Tenere 700, então enviei um e-mail para o pessoal da APE perguntando se eles têm um plano para desenvolver um. Eles responderam que o tensor do YTFZ09-PRO funcionará. Sim... mesmo motor.

Olá, chegou a trocar o tensor da corrente? Notou diferença?

Did on mine 18 months ago, zero issues.

If you install it correctly there wont be a problem. I went this rout in the quest of making this engine quieter. It didnt helped but its more reliable than a ratchet style tensioner like the oem one. 
I do this on every 4t bike i own.

Se você instalar corretamente não haverá problema. Eu segui essa rota na busca de tornar esse motor mais silencioso. Não ajudou, mas é mais confiável do que um tensor tipo catraca como o original. 
Eu faço isso em todas as bicicletas 4t que possuo.

A minha faz um barulho chato, entre as 3500rpm e as 5000rpm tipo um Tek Tek Tek, penso que com o tensor manual, esse barulho vai desaparecer quase por completo
