Eyeball off the rear sprocket. I'm happy with the 17,000 I got out of the stock chain- I don't need to go for double or triple that.

I'm not anal about it, but I know a few who are. For me, it's been all good so far.

I don't have to worry about this shit, i hear the 12k service takes less than a hour to swap all fluids and check the valves.
