hi bob. it's recomended to change them every 20,000mls or so. you'll hear the chain getting a bit rattly as the tensioner wears. :D

Get them sorted. Mine has 35k on the clock and the front CCT let go which dinked the piston and bent two valves.

If I'd have known they were trouble when I got the bike that would have been the first thing I did!
