Bit the bullet and bought an RK 530 GSW gold  x ring chain, jt front18t and jt rear 41t sprocket yesterday, am going to try standard gearing for a bit.  Hiflo oil filter and gulf synertrex 3000 oil too.  So some tlc planned for the 1402.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

You won't know yourself Eric. New plush drivetrain and smoother gear changes. That will make a world of difference to how it rides.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Cheers Kiwifruit, she's  not had a new chain since I bought her with 35000 ish km on the clock, shes now got 46000km showing.  I regularly clean  lube and adjust the chain, but figured time for new. Bit of play in the links on the rear sprocket and the teeth are getting that "cresting wave" look about them.  I hope this gets rid of the last bit of roughness at low speeds.  Went for the gold chain over the black as this looks trick.  Hopefully find some time to fit up and test ride this weekend.
