What kind of mileage are you all seeing from your chains?

23,8XX on my '93 Kawasaki ZR1100. I know it's original as the cycle never left "work" ( Original owner, VP and myself )
I scored a brand new OEM kawasaki chain for $100 off ebay ( retail is $311.53 ) and brand new sprockets off a friend for $65 ![]() I read the manual and how it's replaced on my ZR1100 is to remove the swingarm ( and mufflers ) Jeff |

almost 10,000 on the stock chain on this bike, chain and sprockets look great, i sold one of my old R1's to a buddy, he replaced the stock chain at 25,000, and i NEVER lube my chains(just clean with kerosene, wipe off excess..done
