I have a non oring chain as well and regularly run 200 miles in a stint. I should lokk into an auto oiler as well.

I have seen (somewhere...) dyno tests that show a significant increase in power transmitted to the rear wheel with just lubricating the chain. Non-O-ring chains typically cost half as much and last half as long - but probably longer if you really attend to them. |

Yeah, frees up some power, but only when you're at max-throttle would the extra power make a difference (otherwise on street bike, you can just open throttle more). Weight savings of a couple pounds also really only affects a race-bike.
All the guys I've talked to on track says their 415 lasts about 1-season before needing replacement. That's with regular cleaning and oiling, but the average load is much, much higher than a street-bike. I prefer my 428 conversion with X-ring chain. Almost as much weight-savings as 415, but lasts much, much longer. Longer than stock even. |

this question has been thrown around quite often. granted o ring chains are great but they have drawbacks too. since i will be using motobriz oiler i don't think its a problem.

I think X-ring chains are happy medium in between!

sorry about the sarcasm. But you get my point. I get it though. It's the principle of making it great instead of stopping at good. Just gotta make sure you can experience proper feedback. |

That's when I hit reserve. I mistakenly said I hit reserve in a previous post at 135 miles - duh - senior moment. I also check oil level, coolant, lights and look for loose bolts.
Kinda anal, huh? Bill

Sprocket Specialists. Info and part# here: http://www.rcramer.com/bikes/ex250/428.shtml
I run 18/59t sprockets to reduce chain-wrap angle as much as possible. So far, I've gotten past 2-seasons from chain, about 70 track days total. Changed it and flipped sprocket for this season. |
