Default new chain & sprockets

I just installed a new chain and sprockets on my CBR 600
F3. The new chain came coated in a good layer of white grease. What, if anything, needs to be done before riding off into the sunset?
Thanks,
mikey

Just be prepared to clean up a lot of sling off. A 5 or 10 minute ride will sling off most of the extra grease. You'll probably have to adjust the chain again after about 500 to 1000 miles. Remember to lube it every 500-600 miles. Dupont makes a good lube that drys in a few moments, doesn't sling off and doesnt' attract dirt. It's not tacky to the touch.
