Cam chain Tensioner

Hi All,

My 2002 FZS600 (foxeye)has started to get a small noise from the top end which i thought was the valves, I had a mechanic come and listen but he said it sounded like it was the cam chain and that i probable need a new tensioner.

The bike has only done approx 27000 miles on a general 60 mile round commute, is this normal for the tension to need replacing at this milage and also when should i condider getting the cam chain changed.

Finally does anyone know where i can get one from as other than yamaha? and is it a big job to change the tensioner?

Cheers

Stu
