New sprockets with new chain?

[707LAKE]

I run a D.I.D super street x-ring (ZVM2) chain. I have close to 16,000km-9950miles and expect another 10,000km-6200miles.

 

I have though replace my front sprocket twice and rear sprocket once.

 

90% street use. Chain cleaned daily and I use chain saw bar oil. I know laugh it up but its cheap and works great, if you don't mind  a little mess.

holy crap!! clean chain daily?!?!?!!? how often is this..

lol i clean mine like anywhere from 500-3000miles

i think in 15,000miles i cleaned it less than 8times... iknow,iknow, it should be way more frequent

Keep in mind all brands have their price point chains and higher end chains, the VX line of chain was created for a price point advantage.  Originally, the VM line( a very solid chain) was discontinued and replaced by the present VX line, however they also reduced the side plate thickness, so its not the same chain in the cases Ive looked at. The ZVM and ZVM2 lines are their topend line chains with the beefiest specs.

I had over 40,000 miles on the stock chain and sprockets when I totaled my ZX9r. Would not expect anywhere near that on a dirt bike??
