O Ring chain? (Read 4880 times)

O Ring chain?
01.04.06 at 11:08:52
 
My Yamaha dealer told me that I can use an O Ring Chain on my TR1.
But after purchasing and cutting the new expensive O Ring chain, I noticed a small comment in my manual that says NOT to use these chains.  
Has anyone successfully used the ORing style drive chain??  
Does it really matter??

I think it shouldnt matter. Using an O-ring chain in a closed chain case may be better than using a non-O-ring chain without chain case. Wink

Just try it and tell us the result. Wink

hi Dieter, my German is not very good (tried to learn German but its kinda complicated!!) - but I think you are saying to check the chain each 18,000 klm, and something about how the heat within the chain guard can affect the O rings?  is this correct?   Ash

I check the chain every time when i change the rear tyre. But i have to adjust the tension only every 3 or 4 tyres (6.000 to 8.000 kilometers each). He sais that some peolpe say, that the heat within the chain case could burn the o-rings, but he also says that this is nonsense. And even if the rings get burned, who cares? The original chain has no rings either. Wink

IOW: Dont care to much about the chain, go riding! Wink

Gruss,
Georg
