Glenn, just to correct your comment that the manual tensioner "can't fail" , well let me tell you it can if you don't maintain it correctly, also like any other working component it can fail due to wear and tear or fatigue,,
a more apt description would be that, it's less likely to fail than the current unit provided that its maintained correctly, there is NO evidence to suggest that it's BETTER, WILL LAST LONGER or OUTPERFORM the new one currently being fitted by suzuki under the SAFETY RECALL,,
are we to understand that the entire team of engineers at suzuki are naive, incompetent or haven't got a clue and are prepared to risk the safety of some 600 odd busa owners around australia or the much larger number worldwide, in fitting this 'inferior' new tensioner when a manual one is available or can be easily manufactured...
can you be certain that fitting the manual unit will comply with the warranty in all respects and is engineered specifically to perform on the busa ??????....
