How long does OEM chain last?

Post by Nogin »

Hi All,
I have a 'W' plate Storm with 25000 miles, I've owned it from new. I'm very particular about lubing the chain after most rides with EP90 gear oil, the bike's not ridden in anger to often, and mostly in the dry weather. Does anyone know how long the chain will last? It still looks pretty good, and is still well inside the adjustment marks.

I have a 2000 and its still got its original chain its done about 16,000 miles( it had 5000 on it when I bought it). I use a scott oiler with EP80 in and have adjusted the chain only a couple of times.
