My original chain, both sprockets and rubber damper set were replaced at about 41k miles. The chain/sprockets were not regularly lubricated. The chain was bad but the sprockets were still good but not perfect.

I then started servicing the chain and sprockets every 500 miles or sometimes more often, especially after rain. For about 20k+ miles it did not need chain adjustment due to frequent lubrication.
Then I replaced just the chain because the sprockets were in perfect condition.
Usually parts that work together should be replaced as a set, but because the sprockets were in such a good condition, I replaced just the chain a second time.
I sold my white CB at about 83k miles, so two chains and one set of spockets.
