I was thinking about bearing, seal, and sleeve wise. I guess all of them are excelent for advoiding wear and tear.

EDIT: Whats the average time im gonna get out of a stock chain. riding only on the weekends..about every toher weekend for about 2 hours.

I just now replaced my stock chain, and I've been riding hard and racing for almost 2 years....and my chain was still in good shape. If you keep it maintained, it should last you a while........the only reason I got a new one was because I got a longer swingarm.

the one thiing that wears on the 400 and you have to be carefull of it is the swing arm bolt. and bearings. you have to take the bolt out and greese it up every few months or it will seize up and its a bit#@ to get out. other than that they hold up well.
