It all depends on the quality of the chain and sprockets, how it is looked after and how the bike is ridden. I have known them last from 25 minutes to 10,000 miles. If you replace the chain you should replace the sprockets as well ( the chain will last longer.)

According to the service manual it is an RK525SMOZ7 with 110 links. I think the 525 part is the key.

hi,sounds to me like you have a bent sprocket or worse a bent counter shaft,check the rear sprocket first,get the rear wheel off the ground(centrestand will do),find a block or something,place it beside the rear sprocket,using the block as a rest ,hold a ruler about a 1/4 inch off the sprocket and check the runout by simply spinning the back wheel,the gap between the ruler should not change by more than about 1/2mm to 1mm around the entire sprocket,if it does then it needs to be replaced,if the sprocket is running true,remove the engine cover over the front sprocket and repeat as per the rear sprocket,also look for any up/down forwards/backwards movement in the countershaft,i hope it is the rear one that is the problem as it will be relatively easy to fix,if it is the front(doubtfull)and the countershaft is bent then it will be quite expensive to repair...note a countersahft can be bent by overtightening the drive chain,when the suspension moves rather than the chain taking up the movement(which it is supposed to do)then the chain will pull against the counter shaft and bend it,or the bearing will fail (more common) or crack the crankcase..hope this helps...cheers

Welcome to FixYa
Dear User
I hope following Direction can Help you
Loosen the bolt on the rear axle. Tighten the 10mm bolts. Measure the distance between the frame and the rim, make sure it's equal.
Give your chain about 1-1.5 inch play in the bottom middle, (between wheel sprocket and output sprocket-on the gear box).
Do this is small increments, 1/2 turn at a time, then measure.
Re-tighten the main bolt, make sure it's quite tight, otherwise you'll lose your wheel.
Best thing is to use 1/2 inch ratchet with a 24 inch handle extension (pipe or something that can fit over the ratchets handle) ..
