[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1383239, member: 104942"] I guess that once a single o-ring on a "sealed o-ring chain" fails, it is now a "mostly sealed mostly o-ring chain". Which, given the "it is only as strong as it's weakest link" nature of a chain, implies that there could be significant benefit to really lubing a "sealed" chain. Maybe the right strategy is to use silicone or something for the first 3000 miles or X hours, and then assume that by that point some of the seals have been compromised, and treat it like still perfectly good but now non o-ring chain. (which kinds of begs the question of why bother to put an o-ring chain on a dirt bike in the first place, but I don't put o-ring chains on dirt bikes, so don't ask me. I put on reasonable quality inexpensive non o-ring chains and lube early and often, and make sure there is an extra chain and master link back at the truck any time I go riding. For my street bike, I think chains are annoying, and am very happy with my zero lash zero maintenance belt drive). [/QUOTE]
