You guys are getting 10k more miles out of your chain and sprockets that I got, how are you doing this? I clean my chain regularly (wire brush and use high-compressed air to remove dirt), maintain proper adjustment, and lubricate regularly (about every 300 miles). My bike has only been ridden in a very slight rain twice, and for less than 20 miles each time. I am using Chain Wax as a lubricant. and I am easy on my shifts and my starts. 75% of my riding is two-up, but I'm not sure how much effect this has on chain life. My sprockets both looked good (I replaced them anyway), but the chain developed a tight spot (the slack deviated by almost one inch from tightest spot to the loosest spot). So what's your secret?
