Pulled the rear wheel off, broke the chain and removed the driven sprocket. I also removed the chain slider for inspection. With the drive sprocket removed, the chain off and rear wheel removed the chain slider was readily removed without removing the swing arm as recommended by the service manual.

Similar to the drive sprocket the driven sprocket is in reasonable, but worn, condition. As I had reached the limit of chain adjustment and still had over 40mm of chain slack that would indicate the chain was well and truly ....um .....er...., well, at the end of its life. The chain was also very noisy, sort of "graunching" noises when not under high load. I'm wondering whether to replace the chain with the DID or RK O-ring chain specified in the manual (mine was a DID) or go to an X-ring. The X-ring being about 75% more expensive. Anyone got any ideas?

The chain slider still had plenty of meat on it. It will go back on.

Here are some photos:
