i meant the front sprocket shaft/bearings what ever it has...that the sprocket is sitting square,and running true...

the allignment might be out by a bee's dick..

chain might be rooted from when you bought it (tight spots etc)

Suspension might be too tough on the chain

My GPX chewed chains, I expect due to the small front sprocket - but not in 1000km. Play should be 35-40mm, so hopefully it wasn't overtightened.

Suspension could be an issue... but my GPX didn't have any suspension adjustment - does yours?

Standard gearing?
