So this is Your first time when You have a problem with Xring chain? If so maybe we might reconsider a second chance for this type of chain? Well, in my case this is my first Xring and first fail already
Yes, its my first X-ring chain. I've had a Kawasaki ZRX 1100, reg O-ring chain (the largest o-ringed chained bike), never had an issue.
I bought my bike from my friends son (original owner) who put 4,500 miles on the OEM chain and lubed it ONCE in that time frame(bike was abused).
I squeezed it out to 12,000 miles (total) before replacing the chain.
If an OEM chain can go 4,500 miles lubed ONCE, and a fancy X-ring chain, MAINTAINED, 6,000 miles, before it starts coming apart, there's an issue there.
I won't be experimenting/wasting $ on an X-Ring...
