SWEET!
Fitted new chain this evening after work (ended up riding home in the pissing rain without waterproof pants, in the pitch black with a tinted visor. Frozen rain on your face, or not able to see? You choose..., but that's another story...)
It's amazing what a difference a good chain makes!!! NO driveline lash when i go from engine braking to full gas, or from accelerating chop the throttle to engine brake. She is a whole different bike! Bring on the twisties!!!

Also found the adjustment i was looking for on my clutch, can adjust the angle of the lever without adjusting the friction point, perfect! Now i can reach the clutch next time i 12 O'Clock her!
Oh, and for those on Ginny's with stock chains, replace it as soon as you can!!! I knew it was bad, but was shocked at just how bad... Fed on the new chain, and the rust and kak that fell off the sprocket from the old chain (frequently cleaned too) was unbelievable... But the scariest thing? lay the old chain down on the ground, and bend it sideways (i,e, 90° to how it bends as it goes round the sprocket). it bend over 180°!!!! FOOK! tried that with the new chain... 0° bend... Now that's what a chain should be. Those chains constantly stretch and need adjustment for a reason guys, they're utter shit. Bike mechanic mate of mine couldn't believe that old one had held as long as it did with how i ride
Right, time for one more beer (Yeah Right...) and bed. Catch you fellas at the gassie in the morn!
