XT660Z Tenere chain and sprockets

Oiling my chain yesterday I noticed that it seems to have a few �tight� links. They don�t flatten out after leaving the sprocket and stay with a slight kink. Probably these do straighten out under power, but not when turning the wheel by hand.

After 10,000 miles the sprockets are also showing signs of wear, but are not badly hooked.

I don't use a Scott-Oiler and the bike is used for commuting all year round in all weathers and the occasional off-road venture.

Time for a new chain and sprocket set before if jumps off ?

Yamaha original or other recommendation ?
