I once did a "how long does your chain last on the AT" survey. The
result was, that a chain on the AT last's about 25.000km (as far as I
remember). If you drive also in winter (salt !), the chain last's a lot
less (~15.000km).

Most people did use the genuine Honda part. There also chain set's from
RK and D.I.D. available at every popular bikers shop.
Those chain's are X-Ring chains, which in theory are "better" than the
normal O-Ring chain.

I currently use an endless RK X-Ring chain. Too few kilometers, to
report anything :-))
