it's called mechanical sympathy.
you have a crank spinning at 8k rpm, transmitting power to a shaft probably rotating at 8k too (depending onyour primary gearing), then to another shaft which dependant on gearing could be spinning up to 14k rpm. this then goes through your front sprocket and drive chain.
if you enjoy replacing chain and sprockets and quite possibly the odd gearbox then stamp down the box..........or become a smoother rider
