[ST] Chain stretch question...

I changed the chain on my '00 ST very recently, installing an X-ring chain &
new sprockets.
After carefully adjusting the chain per the book (i.e., on the main stand,
adjust so that there is 35-40 mm (about 1.1/4 - 1.1/2") vertical movement),
I went out for a short ride - virtually no evident stretch after about 70
miles. The second ride was today - about 225 miles, with a passenger this
time - and just got back. I noticed that I was getting a vibration that
shouldn't have been there and have just checked the chain. On the main
stand, there is now 55mm ( just over 2") play.
Has anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong here, or is that normal
stretch for the first use?
Thanks!
Alex
