Slipped a chain, luckly its vietnam so I only had to push the bike down 200 feet of highway and 1 intersection before I found a Honda shop. I'm lucky I wasn't stranded in some mountains or offf-road.

I have the chain cleaned/lubricated/tensioned every oil change, which is 800km, none of the mechanics mentioned the sprocket, guess I should have inspected myself.
If the oil change seems shockingly short, bikes in SEA don't have replaceable oil filters, instead you just change the oil every 600-1000km, often with 20w50 or 15w40.
