Getting a good launch

[jake42]

seems lately my bike is not launching the way i would like.  I dunno if i gave the clutch too much slack when i put the drag bars back on or if my chain is just stretched beyond belief.  I know the chain is shot.  It's at the very end the adjusters, but i had to order the new steering head bearings and fork seals first.  I dunno if i can tighten the clutch cable anymore because it already feels like it's dragging a little, meaning it will jump a little if i hit the starter with the clutch pulled in, in first gear.

I"m hoping the clutch is not going, but there's definitely no slippage going on.  I'm kinda banking on on the shot chain idea, but i'm just hypothesizing.
