I take that's for track use?

Swapped over to a non-O ring chain. It does reduce driveline friction when spinning by hand. Hope to be able to test this soon. Anyone have any feedback regarding this? View attachment 28731 View attachment 28732

The only feedback I'd give is a line after every session at the track.
That loss of friction should really be felt in your acceleration and overall performance of the bike.

Do give us a review of how you like or dislike the setup. 👍

Here’s what I can tell you about my experience - I used EK 520MXR3D - The chain continuously stretch - I mean like almost every session I had to re-adjust it - It was crazy.

I sent the chain back for EK to test and warranty - I was told the chain was not made for the Ninja and would not warranty

Once an o-ring chain has warmed up, which doesn't take much time at all, there's not much point in a non o-ring.
Spin the wheel on warmed up o-ring.
