Then check your chain better to slack than to tight.
What tyres are on it?
Can you post a photo?

The bike has a new daytime MOT from the dealer, he said he checked everything over for me before delivering it but he would say that!! Also says new engine rebuild. To be fair I think it feels fine but I'm not confident I'd know otherwise.

Looks like I need to host pics online to add them here. I'll see if there's somewhere quick and easy to sign up

I'm too new! Apparently I can't upload external links in my 1st week.

Best bet is to buy/download a Haynes manual for the bike and just go through the routine maintenance section.

If it's passed an Mot, then generally the bearings, fork seals, brake pads should all be within spec.

If you are itching to go out, I would just check the oil level, coolant and chain. As long as the bike starts, stops and nothing feels obviously wrong, I'd put some miles on it.
