the oem-snaprings are much more durable as any other on the market..  its the power of the engine, that chews them up . they could break after some months or last 10 years in the engine . its also the intensity of riding .. much riding on pro level for example =  much more shorter live for some parts of the bike...  :wink:

Choice of trans oil and frequency of changes could also have a positive or negative affect.

What a good oil to run in the trans

everyone will have their own opinion on this question...
I ran Bel-Ray Gear Saver and Motul for years in the tranny, which are good...but you're paying for the name more than anything. 
I run what the manual calls for these days...plain old 10w-40, change it often, you won't have any problems what-so-ever, and you'll save a ton a money.

I've ran everything from 10/40 to expensive big names ect but now I run ***** and change it often...  :-D
