More than likely mate...
Look back thru this thread from the beginning and u will see a few of them...
Don't worry about it mate. Mine was rattling like a belt fed gimpy when it was at 900miles. Had it replaced with the 3rd modification and it's been fine since.
I had mine replaced last on Friday

Mines now done 4500 miles, been rattling last 3500 miles, not a bad rattle, mainly noticable 3-4000 rpm. Been back to dealer countless times, the mechanic reckons it sound fine, and written to Yamaha, they said nothing they could do if dealer reckons its OK.
As far as I'm concerned, I have tried to get it sorted, and if it does go pop I have proof I told them about it countless times.
To be fair, hasnt got any louder last 3500 miles, just annoying.
Will be interesting to see if any debris in oil at service time

So anyone know if yamaha updated the parts on new mt09s to avoid this problem tormenting them forever?
Yes. All new bikes have the correct cct installed
Cant you just drive to another Yama dealer?

I suppose I could, but it would be a 100 miles round trip, and if the dealer said the same thing it would be a waste of time.
I will get the dealer to check the oil at the next service (6000 miles in next couple of months)
Usually if things go wrong, even out of warranty, I would expect Yamaha to still fix it (I have emails from Yamaha UK and also my dealer logs each visit I make and gives me a paper copy), so if 3 years down the line the cam chain snaps and destroys the engine, I would have proof it was a long term issue

What damage can a loose cam chain tensioner do?

Worst case scenario but $*** happens
Does anyone know after which engine number they came with the updated tensioner as standard?
Or are there any identifying marks on the updated tensioners so I could identify if mine is done?
Finally, what exactly is changed - is it just a bolt or are there internal parts as well ?

Just had mine replaced. Only time (& miles) will tell if it's sorted.
Just had mine replaced and the rattle is even worse than before. Before I left I asked the mechanic if any adjustment is needed and he is that is it self adjustable ! So he has not tried my bike even bloody dealers ! Should I go back and complain or adjust it myself?
