I’ve been searching the net for just this. Brought a new chain and sprocket set a year ago as I has a tight joint on a 10 day trip. Regular lubing has seen me through but now I’ve got about 6-8 like yours I’m at 35,000km and I think your advice is good, looks like I have a job to do tomorrow. Cheers from NZ

I have an XR250 that had a few stuck links. I was able to free up most of them with pliers and a hammer. After I took the chain off one link blew apart and would not free up. I have a standard chain on it now.

Useful reminder and talk through. Thank you.

Anyone who was cheap, only replaced the chain, then very soon replaced the new chain and the sprockets raise your hand!! Anyone without their hand up is probably lying😀 Good video, and there is no substitute for doing it right. I have used way to much chain lube out of fear of chain failure. Who got lube on the tire and slid in the first turn?

Go for x-ring chain. More better 😊

I’m still new to the chain world but can’t say any of mine are doing that. Make sure to post a follow up!

Hi I faced same issue in my classic 350 reborn… i tried every possible way to solve but failed. But last week I cut the o ring from the non moving portion of the chain. And it’s working good as of now

I believe there is an ugly side to 0-ring chain and this is it. In the future, I may stop using it all together. You may find other links locked up in the future. Thanks for commentingl

Yep, common sense prevails - no need for a new chain 👍

I'd go for Non O-ring, way less stiffer and free wheeling you'll feel the difference some say you gain 1 HP... Just lube a little more frequently..

Nonsense. Juuut pure nonsense. In motogp they have money to put new chains in every session yet they go with X ring. Infact even moto3 uses U ring chain.

New chain and sprockets ⚙️ needed I’m afraid 🤙✌️💯🇬🇧👍❤️

I'll have it kawasaki ninja ex650 2019 abs and i made it a complaint on the dealer for my warranty to replacement the frozen link Chain O-ring like yours but on my case was more links frozen and they told need more lubrication when they know the factory Chains was bad and I'm purchasing EK 3D 520 and Vortex sprocket set

Thanks for commenting. One would think, right? This is the downside of 0-Ring and X-Ring chains. Once the lube leaves the pins there's no way of putting it back. I lube my chains every 200 miles give or take. That said, I'm giving serious thought towards going back to regular chains next time around as I have found, with proper lubrication, they last a lot longer.

​@@SJMudTurtleCruises If you're cleaning/lubing that frequently might as well go standard.
