Alright, time for an update!
I did the trip and I'm not sure what I was worried about! It did it easy, but I have parked it up until I have the time to fit the new chain , sprockets and 12mm front sprocket nut!
For the benefit of others, the chain wore considerably on the journey to the point where I was worried it might jump off the sprocket due to how much slack was in the chain by the end of the trip, but there was adjustment left in it so I re adjusted and all was well! However like I said, I have parked it up for now!
The chain is a renthal and although there is more adjusting left in it, the chain has worn very un-even in its 12,000mile life, I would not recommend a Renthal chain to anyone! I have purchased a OEM Yamaha item to put on the bike so hopefully that fairs much better!
Take it easy guys!
