While I agree with their being less pressure on the new tennsioners..
I am only reporting what others have said and what I've read in here..
It has been reported in here by several members that has installed the new SE HYD kit replacement that didn't have the new style 96''er roller chain installed in the rear.
Then they checked the new rear tennsioners after another 20-25k and they are saying they are wearing out about the same as the stock 88''er set up..
In other words, they are not lasting anything like the front Tennsioner in the HYD kit..
Their reasoning is the old style chain is causing the the New Tennsioners to wear just about as much and as fast..
Here Below is a pic of the tennsioners that one rider that installed the new SE HYD kit..
With 20k since the install... the outer one look new.. the inner one is shot.. That should prove that the roller chain does make a big difference..

Here's one of the threads that explains it even better..
