[QUOTE="wsmc831, post: 632453, member: 30743"] jaybird, i'll have to disagree with ya. by your logic, chains only last as long as sprockets? chains don't elongate or stretch, at all, ever, period. the rollers will wear, causing the appearance of stretch, which will wear out sprockets faster than a new chain, but saying that seeing wear on a sprocket means your chain is worn doesn't make much sense. Al sprockets will wear MUCH faster than a chain, so if you wear out sprockets and replace the chain you are just wasting money. A good quality x or o ring chain will last years with proper maintenance, even through a couple generations of steel sprockets on a high powered streetbike. I usually don't need to replace chains more than every 20k miles or so, or every couple years on a dirtbike. and AL sprockets certainly don't last that long. basically, seeing wear on a sprockets doesn't mean you need a new chain, it means you need to get a new sprocket, that's all.
