Non-oring chain
I wonder how many are experimenting with non-oring chains?
I had a Triumph Adventurer that needed a chain replacement. I went non-oring with that, just to see. Even when old the oring chain was much stiffer than the non-oring chain; I'm guessing a significant amount of power is consumed just in the chain. I also added a little drip device made with about $10 worth of parts from Ace Hardware, just to keep it lubed. My Nortons, that I owned when younger, used the engine breather on their non-oring chains but I didn't want to go that route. I would just turn off the gas and the chain oiler whenever parked.
There are automatic oilers, but I haven't tried any of those.
I just wonder why non-oring chains are not a standard ecomod (assuming they are not - maybe I'm wrong?). They really aren't that inconvenient, in my opinion.
