[QUOTE="Gabriel, post: 1073601, member: 28206"] I just finished changing my tensioner, I think it made a little noise from time to time but because it is a first gen with 48K I thought I would change it just in case. I had hell with the bolt that goes in the end of the tensioner, I dropped that bolt in the frame six times and had to fish it out with a magnet! I finally decided to attach it to a 10mm socket with a piece of paper between the bolt head and the socket, held the bolt/socket up to the hole and then stuck an extension through the frame hole and it lined up perfect and went right in. This is not one of Yamaha's better ideas. I did pull the right side cover to expose the timing chain, i just tied both sides together with a tie wrap. There is a new style tensioner available now (Third one). It has a green dot (I think) and a different part number. 1MC-12210-00 [/QUOTE]
