So, I got my chain cleaned and lubed. I tightened the chain a couple of weeks ago and it seems I have to do it again. So, my questions is when should I have it replaced? At what point does it stop being tightened and just replaced? I'm heading home to tighten the chain again today. Last time I did it, I moved the axle a full dash and a half back. I know this means little to you but I don't know another way of defining it except that my Kawa has a couple of small dashes to help align the axle while fixing the chain. I'm at just about 10k miles on the bike if that helps.

You'll know because you either have rounded off teeth, your chain sounds like a can of loose screws, and/or you run out of threads on your adjustment screws.

Just change the sprockets and chain. 10K is plenty for a chain.
