I have an ETL Manual Cam Chain Tensioner on my MV, moslty because the design on the mv the tensioner is prone to getting stuck. But i do recommend you to get an original tensioner. You shouldn't think in expensive/cheap when doing motorcycle maintenance, get the technical best solution. A manual tensioner takes quite a bit of art to get it calibrated correctly and it need recalibrating very often, depending on how often you use it. Forgetting it or setting it incorrectly can cause catastrophic failure, and possibly an deadly accident. Manual tensioner are intended for use on engines that get serviced very often. Like race engines. The self calibrating features of the OEM tensioners are a very important feature.APE's site only shows a tensioner for up to '17 FZ/MT's. That should work in my '18, right?
Damaged the stocker while doing my valves and a new one is way more expensive, may as well go with the APE.
