Thanks for the clear visual on the construction of the chain using a real chain rather than a diagram on a white board, sure makes it easier to understand.
Thank you! I spent the last hour trying to understand what an o-ring chain was and NO ONE ELSE showed the actual o-rings. I wish I could see what an x-ring looks like - that has me baffled at the moment.
O-ring chains are a gimmick. May be actually worse. Does not take long for o-rings to wear out and good luck trying to get lube back into chain. Stop being lazy people and lube your regular chain. Will last years and years. Funny how us old-timers got 50k out of a regular chain just by doing 5 minutes of maintenance once in a while.
Agreed with a steel sprocket . I run a 650 dual sport with steel sprockets and a o-ring chain . I still do put a little oil on it to keep the rubbers moist.""RIDE ON"" great vid
Rust is not the only reason to lubricate an o-ring chain. You also need to lubricate it to keep the o-rings from drying out and disintegrating and keep them soft a pliable. Otherwise...great info.
You know, you cover some of the things I haven't thought about in over 20 years and yet, these are things that people need to know. Pretty good topics, I wouldn't have thought of making a video on it! LMAO If they sell it, someone will need to know why... Freaking genius bro!
The greasing of the chain is not only done so that the chain does not rust, but it is greased mainly to prevent the drying of the O-rings or X-rings, thus prolonging the life of the chain and the quality of the rides. O-rings equal more friction ..... X-rings equal less friction ......
I run x ring on my road bikes. Non o ring on dirt. I don’t race dirt bikes anymore but the once a year Enduro. I have multiple chains for different sprocket combos. Non o ring dirt chains are cleaned and oiled before the race with silkolene standard chain lube. Never broke a chain even on long hard enduros. When I raced road bikes (tz250) I didn’t run o ring chains then either, but those chains were cleaned and lubed totally before each race.
We f you make final drive ratio changes often and swap chains to do so, then non o ring chain is a lot easier to remove. Just unclip it, o ring chains need to be pressed off and pressed on
Here in Argentina o rings chain japan made costs the double as standard chain. And do not lasts double of time well maintained. Good video and thanks for the upload!
O rings chain last longer so is better for a trail bike or something you use for off road if you are racing and you want to make as much power as possible the non o-ring chain might be a better choice because there is less friction however dirt can get in the joints and wear it out quicker.
Right on man you are 100 percent correct in that o rings are better, I would add that oiling them Will extend there life and help keep the o rings from drying out and cracking and lube the outer roles for longer life. As to robbing power, after they are warmed up and properly lubed they spin pretty free
I just came across your channel and I am glad I did! You give such useful information and advice! Greetings from Mexico and keep up the good work 👍🏽👍🏽!
Hi, What you show there as non o-ring chain looks like grandpa's chain from his Mobra. There are high quality non-oring MX chains made of speacial alloys that can last as long as any o-ring chain. I use CZ MX Gold and in almost 2 seasons of mud and harsh conditions it still doesn't look like yours, actually it is nice and shiny. In these 2 seasons I adjusted it 2-3 times and it's not locked or anything. Yamaha WR400. Remember CZ MX Gold. Made in Czech Republic. A 520 chain is around €50, great price for the value.
Haha i have it for o'ring chain stiff and rusty. I use on my africa twin 1100 l non oring chain but first think do it before installation.... Make hot bath this chail with wax and graphite mixture to make lubricated and protect chain. At the moment I have 5000 miles for non o'ring chain and still good condition graphite do all lubrication it is old school.
Well.. I bought a good quality none oring one for my bike for half a price than the oring one... I clean and lube every two weeks spend only 15 Minutes.... Plus I can feel the difference between the one with oring and the none on ring... It's more quicker... But it's my experience...
Anyway 530 non o'ring chain is the same wide like 525 o'ring if u use 525 non o'ring chain is les weight. With a chain without o-rings there is less resistance which goes hand in hand with less fuel consumption and in racing better laptime. That's why chains without o-rings and aluminum sprockets are used on GPs
If you don't mind the maintenence you are ok, I just got lazy specially this 4t, I never put it on the table. Also the Cain I bought for a video and just happened to be a good one so I'm kind of stuck with oring, the goood thing about the non oring is no slap
Theoretically it doesn't matter at all because by the time you wear out the rollers your chain will have stretched anyway. I remember the old chains in which the plates were in the shape of zero today are in the shape of eight because it is supposed to stretch you would change it Today's crappy car production.... You should buy AND not ask the question
Never heard of the teeth not fitting into a narrow x ring chain? I use a talon front sprocket nothing fancy My crf has a case clearance of ~1mm with a 18.7mm wide chain. A standard o ring won't fit
The reason you lube an O-ring chain is is because the rollers and sprocket cogs are metal to metal contact and need lube or you will wear the cogs. An O-ring chain only needs a little lube on the rollers on the side that mates with the sprockets. Non-Oring chains need to be lubed on the rollers AND between the plates. That is a much bigger mess. Lubing an oring chain to prevent rust is not "only to prevent rust".
I use a XW ring. It has less rolling resistance than a plain O ring chain. Oh and like I said in a previous comment, I never lube my chain on a dirt bike. Just run him dry. I get a better life out of it. But on my road bike I always lube, but this is a different application.
RoManiac yeah I’m hearing ya, but I’m not concerned with the horsepower deficit, we have to remember that friction is the enemy of all machines. With an increase in friction we see an increase in wear. So if a machine is working extra hard to move an object then we can only assume that the machine is experiencing undue wear, across the board. Having said that, I use a $200 chain, run it dry and get 70+ hours out of it and the rear sprocket. It comes down to what a person feels comfortable doing. All is good.
@@tezzanewton so which chain would you recommend for a dirtbike that does normal trail riding just a weekend thing no racing. Not concerned about speed I'm focused on building it to last. Durable as possible lol its fast enough
@@sean.g4516 just get any good brand that you can afford mate. Don’t overthink it, it’s just a chain. Also I use steel rear sprockets cos they last longer too. I think my current chain is a DID.
Nice explanation. so everybody decide for their needs. If you are on dirt bike and have time to clean and oil the chain after every trail, so go for non o-ring chain.
I use O ring chain its go long. Not o ring chain are lauder to, on low rpms get chain slap and wery fast worn out . And non o ring chain need oil and then after oiling your firt bike angine and bike are with oil :(
You dont see alot of videos about this stuff man thanks for posting! Im in need soon for a new chain and sprocket kit. Ill stick to the o ring chain im used to using. Awesome videos man!
O-ring chains are better for off road/enduro riding and non o-ring is better for Mx/track riding. O-ring chains rob a little HP which most Mx racers don’t want
If you dont care about wheel base then stick with O-rings, personally O-rings stretch way too fast for motocross so I upgraded to the higher tensile strength of D.I.D's VX2 520 X-Ring (Grey). Only $84 Australian, Gold is $150
As you mention O-Rings are wider than non O-ring chain(25% by your measurement) this makes them heavier, anything heaver takes more energy to move hence the drop in power you mention. This is not good for small cc bike that don't make much power. Also point to consider, Cost of O-Ring chain is double non O-Ring chain. Do you get more than double life for O-Ring chain?

O-Ring chains have significantly more 'drag' than an X ring and weighs more. Take care of your chain, wash your bike, and lube your chain...the X ring will last.
Spin your rear wheel with both chains and see how many more revolutions you get with the X ring. The O-Ring will no doubt last longer in the desert, but you cannot beat an X rings performance. Just my opinion...good night bud!
@@MXJEFF94 I hear you but still insignificant if you look at the numbers , they say it's less and 1/4 horse power.. You have 40 on the bike, or more that's that's 0.60 percent of the bikes power..

@RoManiac hey man, sorry to bother you again.. Been looking at a few reviews for this Sony as20 camera and a few people are saying the sound is poor. How do you get such great quality sound? I'll be using mine for motocross
O-ring chains are just another modern-day gimmick. Does not take long for o-rings to wear out. Not what o-rings wear designed for. So you end up having to grease it anyway. Stop being lazy people and lube you regular chain. It will last for years and years.

This o-ring chain is just another spoiling addiction for spending more money, just another BS! And then they sell specific products to clean the chain as well as specific ones to grease it, each spray bottle will cost around $20-25 while for non o-ring chains you just need a basic spray grease bottle or SAE140 oil, much much cheaper!

I had no idea bike manufacturer would actually wittingly put a cheaper chain on a bike to save a buck. Somethin to chew on. I like it.

Using Renthal R3 o-ring chain, awesome bit of kit, comes pre-stretched and can handle 8800 pounds of force.

I can only tell when I ride oring vs non oring, when I listen to it, the oring doesn't have chain slap
I wash my bike after each dirt ride. The chain gets cleaned with air, water, sometimes kerosene. And always lubed and adjusted. Prefer the non oring.
Anyway 530 non o'ring chain is the same wide like 525 o'ring if u use 525 non o'ring chain is les weight.

Yeah the oring doesn't need thay you can get away with long maintennace intervals

The O ring seals need to be lubed, when they dry out they work less effective. The x rings have less friction but are as durable as O ring chains.
