2015 MT-09 Tracer Cam chain tensioner part number

[kirgudu]

Hello! 

Millage - 18000 km

2015 Tracer 900 From Japan

I have Tuk-Tuk sound from my chain, and i want to change cam chain tensioner, but I cant found part number. All parts catalogs show 1RC-12210-03 or 1RC-12210-04. All of then is "Not available" not for order. 

What part number I can use? From 2017 or 2018 Tracer?  B90-12210-00-00?

Or may be mechanical tensioner?

Get a manual CCT

Many available and cheaper without worry of failure 

APE Graves, etc

There may be a recall available for your Tracer.

I was told my FJ had the 4th iteration of the recalled tensioner.  It still occasionally rattles, but it goes away after 10 - 15 minutes.  Come to think of it, it hasn't rattled in many months.  It sure did last year a few times - but went away.

You shouldn't of said anything about it rattling... LOL

I had the 2nd gen done under a TSB not a recall and it failed as well.  MCCT is pretty much set and forget without concern

Easy job when done in conjunction with a valve lash check/adjust.

Fair enough, lol.  I've heard the manual adjuster seems to solve it for good.  Mine isn't bad enough to want to change it yet (so far so good, anyway).

As mentioned by others, there are several options for a Manual CCT.

Here is one example for instance.

I have no recall, Tracer from JDM and Japan recall company doesn't work in Russia. Hello to Yamaha RUS.  

No sound after oil change, but after 3000-4000 km rattles again.

Hi there fellow Russian.... Well actually Ukrainian that speaks Russian. Mine started making noises too around 30,000 miles. I replaced it with another OEM tensioner from Revzilla during my valve clearance adjustment. So far the noise is gone but I should of replaced it with a manual tensioner. During the winters months I'll replaced it with a manual tensioner.

The one Dazzler provided a link to is cheaper than the APE I have. They're a simple device so any quality item will do.  It's the install you just need to be careful doing...

There’s 2 different part numbers because Yamaha made a running change to the cylinder head oil passages (at least in the us and Canada). 

you’ll need to order either item 6 or 15, plus a gasket. 

Are all your valve cover bolts the same? Or is the RH rear bolt different? your bikes definitely a 2015 with the original engine?
