The chain was quite worn, to be fair (it had stretched by 1%, or double Suzuki's recommended wear limit), although there was no visible damage or frozen links. The rear sprocket still looked good, the front sprocket had visible 'hooking'.

I probably ran them maybe 3-4,000 miles more than I should really have done, but I decided to just keep the chain clean and well-lubed to get it through to MOT time. However, the new chain set feels so good I wish I'd changed earlier ...
