Non o-ring chains are fine, just keep it clean and lubbed. I only buy o-ring chains because I have found them to be less noisy.

Picked up My chain today, decided to work on it tonight. after taking off the exhaust to also do another oil and filter change, I was able to get the bike on a milk crate and sitting stable. turned the tire freely and holy crap what a site.. can't believe I was riding with the chain so bad 8O . took the front sprocket casing off and ouch.. found a pile of grease/dirt and about 80 bad O rings in a pile towards the bottom of the case about a 2" ball of it!! so... cut the old chain off,clean all the areas nice, relube things, check the sprockets and go to install the new chain....TOO F__KING LONG, by about 7 links, so much for the Zuke dealer's #s being right. out came the dremal tool and grind the link pins and shorten it a bit.
Finally get the chain on , lube again, adjust rear tire.... SMOOTH as a baby's a$%. what a difference, now I will polish some of the casings while they are off and clean up more, I WANT TO RIDE!!!!Comment

That's why I suggested taking the chain in and matching it up/counting the links.
Glad you got it going.
And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!
