Chain keeps breaking on my motorcycle, what should I do?

My Honda CG 125 from 2010 has been having problems with the chain slipping and it's already broken twice this year. I've had the tension adjusted at the shop and I clean it regularly, but it keeps causing problems. Is it worth replacing it with a better chain or is it a symptom of something more serious?

If it's already snapped twice this year even after adjustment and cleaning, the problem might be deeper than just the chain. Check the sprocket and chainring (the teeth can be worn or bent) because if they're damaged, any new chain is going to suffer the same way; also the freewheel might be giving you trouble and causing misalignment. It's worth taking everything apart and looking closely at those components before you spend money on a quality chain, because if the sprocket or chainring are worn out, you'll end up with the same problem.
