I look forward to watching. I don't have much experience of O or X ring chains but the one I had on my Triumph Tiger 955i did 20,000 miles with only one adjustment. And yes, I did ride it in the wet being young(er) and foolish(er). I used Wurth chain wax on it as my view was that lubrication requirements were minimal as the main things that need lubricating are the bushes and rollers which should have been well protected. No idea of the make but assume it was OE as I bought the bike with about 5,000 on the clock.
I use Silkolene spray on the Norton which is a non-O ring type - there isn't room for one. But that gets less use. Not having ridden the XBR yet I haven't investigated.....
