Is it decently easy to replace chain myself? Last summer I removed the carbs and all that (had Ducatiman do his magic) and put the carbs back in. That was alot to disassemble and such and I managed. Is this job easier or more difficult?
JT Sprockets offers a Chain/Sprockets combo. Are they decent quality?

Triple Jim is absolutely correct. You could run the chain for a while after you lubricate it. Don't know about this "chain wax" stuff. I would use regular engne oil over that. I got 18,000 miles on a non "O" ring chain using regular engine oil on my Kaw 500 triple. Replacing the chain and sprockets is the best way to go but, being cheap, I would run it for a while with a slightly loose chain to see if it sorts itself out. If you have the skill to remove and reinstall the carbs the chain and sprockets should be a piece of cake. If you don't have a geniune Kawasaki service manual I would strongly suggest you obtain one.
Keep us posted.
