I see. I hear that Duralube is an excellent chain w/ long life.
I like the NOS Diamond standard chain very much as the side plates are quite narrow and fit many different applications.
I've never installed a Diamond O-ring chain yet.

We used their product exclusively at work, kinda sucks.

I was reading on another forum about a dirt-bike guy(old post)running a narrow x-ring chain.
He said it "pogo-jumped" ??  I'm just going to guess he meant in the chain slack?
The guy wrote that he 'fixed it' by using a hacksaw to cut-out & removed all the x-rings in the chain,then it was 'fine'??  weird  ::)
The rubber rings had become packed w/ dirt??

I just installed a 530 o-ring chain on the cb750. Haven't run it yet.

Was way to long, had to cut out abut 12 links.
If it ain't raining, I'm riding.....~~{iii}?~~prost

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

Which brand/style O-ring chain did you install ?
