Chain jumping

Can someone confirm if Winder has spent money without needing to?

(Yes is the preferred answer.)

That has never happened Laurie

If the exact same phenomenon is exhibited with this and the last chain, then yes. Of course the old chain may have been worn out, but, if worn relatively evenly, (note; relatively - chains and sprockets rarely wear perfectly consistently), then even at the end of its life this 'problem' will not have been caused by the chain per se.
An engine never turns perfectly evenly, the firing pulses are a finite distance apart, thus the engine slightly speeds up with each pulse and similarly slows down between them, the slower the engine speed the greater the interval between pulses, and obviously the reverse is also true, thus the force applied to the chain as the engine turns is not consistent and this is most noticeable at tickover.

. . . and is FAR more noticeable with a V-twin ( or a single )

20k miles and a front sprocket with shark fin shaped teeth I think it was due a change

Precisely so. The fewer the cylinders the further apart the pulses at any given engine speed. That's why, mostly, big motors with lots of cylinders - 8 or more - are so silky smooth, the pulses are closer together thus the cyclic acceleration and deceleration of the engine is less apparent.

2800 cubic inch (roughly 45,900cc) 18 cylinder twin row radials are so smooth they can blow one cylinder right off the crankcase and nobody will notice until they see it missing.
