I have 25,000 KM's on my stock chain. It's still in great shape and I lube and clean it frequently (or as frequently as I remember to.

If it's well taken care of then I see no reason why it can't go for 50,000km (bout 30,000miles)

If well lubed, your sprockets will wear out faster than the chain. When the sprockets wear out, replace chain at the same time.

Mine lasted 17,000 miles. Seems to be about average.

How I should have worded the question was.....at what point should I start really keeping a closer eye on it for signs of wear.
