HOW LONG WILL MY CHAIN AND SPROCKET SET LAST? I HAVE 18000 AND THE REAR ONE LOOKS GOOD BUT I CANT SEE THE FRONT ONE. SHOULD I JUST REPLACE THEM NOW? WHAT ELSE NEEDS TO BE DONE? HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER EVERY 2000

I replaced chain, and both sprockets at 25,500 miles. Rear was not too bad. The front was hooked slightly and teeth sort of pointy. The front will always wear out quicker than the rear. Use aluminum on the rear and it will wear out about the same time as front steel.

Hey zxinit, PM me your cell number. I was just up in Cottonwood taking care of some preliminary work on our property. Next time we're up that way maybe we can get together for coffee or something.
