Motorcycle maintenance

I have my Jia Ling 150GY-3 for 6500km now and it looks like

I have changed the chain and sprocket after maybe 2000km because the chain was getting loose all the time but with the new one it's the same. What could be the reason? I asked the guy in workshop to make it more tight and he said the chain is too old and I should change it as soon as possible. As I read in internet people change chains after riding much over 10k km so what's wrong with mine? Is it chinese quality or I didn't look after it enough? Or is it because I weight too much? I clean and lube it from time to time but maybe should do that more often?
I've cleaned the airfilter just once as it is a real pain in the a... to take off all the parts including exhaust pipe but I guess I should do that much more often.
I would really appreciate information what I could do to make my bike live longer. Lame questions from lame rider. I could search for the answers in internet but its always better to get info from friends

The standard chains are just shit

Get an o ring chain d i d or tsubaki it will probably outlast the bike
