Given that I'm new on the CB1100, I don't know what the chain and sprockets wear is like on this specific bike, I still find these numbers mind boggling. Normally I'd consider myself lucky if my chain and sprockets last 25000km, but usually around 20000 I will be almost at the end of my adjustment and sprockets would have worn enough to pull the chain up for at least 5mm by hand ![[Image: 4b019e1e3043c7e7f58f815d6d82000b.png]](https://cb1100forum.net/forum/uploads/imp/202010/4b019e1e3043c7e7f58f815d6d82000b.png)
Have I been doing it wrong all these years? I clean and lube the chain once week and when I wash the bike (except for that one experiment where I let it sit for 3000km untouched and it ate me up inside).
I am allergic to gunk on the chain slider and the front sprocket cover and I remove the cover and clean it up every week when I clean and lube the chain. Checking the tension is understood
Let's see what this CB1100 has in store for me, I've actually already ordered a chain and sprocket set just in case even tho my bike is only at 9000km
