[QUOTE="2strokesteve89, post: 211792, member: 1670"] I have an area I ride where there is a very high silt content. I have seen steel sprockets with very little wear come back looking like a saw blade after a few hours of riding there, also when doing mud riding the chain can get packed with mud and cause it to go tight, like banjo string tight, this highly accelerates wear. Also I have a 125 that can go a couple of seasons on one set of sprockets/chain.....the 250 and 300 get a new sprocket halfway thru the season just due to more torque and pressure exerted on the links and teeth. The other thing is stay away from the off brands or the cheaper offerings from the name brand companies, especially with drive components you get what you pay for. And finally clean and lube the chain after every ride and check/adjust the chain before loading up. [/QUOTE]
