I recently had my cbr 929 mot'd in the uk.
Passed no problems, advisory for the chain having too much free play, so I have tightened it to the first picture below.
However, it is now on the penultimate marker, as you can see from about below.
I recently saw a mint 900 mile version of my bike, with the chain wear sticker on it, the 2nd picture refers. Basically, the indicator
for where my chain is now is well into the worn chain area.
Before I swing for a new chain and sprockets, I wondered if there were any opinions or advice about the matter?
Is it definitely time for a new chain, or is it okay to ride on a bit more?
If it is new chain and sprockets times, I was going to go down the standard 16 tooth front and 42 tooth rear as this is what is on at the moment albeit oem, with Renthals, and a DID chain,
unless anyone has anything else to recommend?
