Justice Brothers makes the best lube I've tried.

30k on his chain I kind of believe, as I don't think I know anybody so anal about cleaning and lubing every hour when riding.

I have 10k on one chain and sprocket on my Honda. Chain is near done, sprockets seem OK.

I got 100 hours out of the last chain and sprockets on my KTM RFS, prompting the thread.

I had kinks so bad, even after cleaning the chain and maintaining correctly that I gave up on that oem chain on the klr...

Ill save up for a good chain one of these days, set it and forget it, and only wipe down...

pressures washer is a no no, on a motorcycle...even if you try to be carfeful you always do some damage

cheers

x2 on kerosene or deisel as the cleaning agent, NOT GASOLNE

Ive used o-ring chains for many years,they wouldnt sell so well if they dried out.

I have almost 26,000 miles on my OEM chain and sprockets. Chain maintenance done every 400-450 miles; clean well with brush and kerosene, wipe off excessive kerosene, spray on lithium grease (and that is 26,000 miles in a little over 3 years). Rear sprocket is due to be replaced at end of this season; rear sprocket just now beginning to show a little hook on the teeth. Chain still looks like new when cleaned and greased. Front sprocket-cant tell any wear on the sprocket; I am going to change it anyways when I change the rear sprocket.
