How long should a chain last?
 

I have 25,000 KM's on my stock chain. It's still in great shape and I lube and clean it frequently (or as frequently as I remember to. :skep:).

How long should it last?

KM? What that be. We deal with miles, holmes.

If it's well taken care of then I see no reason why it can't go for 50,000km (bout 30,000miles)

If well lubed, your sprockets will wear out faster than the chain. When the sprockets wear out, replace chain at the same time.

never forget zee sprockets

Mine lasted 17,000 miles. Seems to be about average.

Also seems to depend on how well its maintained, most of mine lasted between 10 and 20, one quit earlier but I didnt realy clean it that often.

25,000km = 15,534mi

Asking such is like asking how long should a car last. All dpendant on how well cared for

How I should have worded the question was.....at what point should I start really keeping a closer eye on it for signs of wear.
