No idea on the chain and sprocket mileage, all were in good working condition, the chain did not have any bad o-rings and I keep very high upkeep on this bike. Yeah the swingarm is due for changing, I'm very happy there are a huge amount of used parts for these bikes. Going to remove plastics tomorrow to inspect engine casing, I'm scared that I damaged the casing, but the damage doesn't look too severe, it looks like the chain simply unhooked and whipped through one time before exiting the back.

I'm not sure that I've ever seen anything 'definitive', but I have heard anecdotal reports that WD-40 isn't good for the chain (o-rings). Just to play it safe, I always clean my chain with plain old kerosene. Does a great job.
