Yep, I'm keeping an eye on it for tightness but it still seems fine and running smooth. Shall see how it goes. The longer it lasts, the better.

Yep. Mine did about 7000km or something like that and then suddenly one day I noticed this abnormal binding/tightness in certain sections. And it was making a weird noise as well. Thanks to this Reynolds chain, I worry a bit less now lol.

So will that also cause the primary gear to wear abnormally also?

 

Sure, if your chain is radically tight, it could make the front sprocket wear faster.
Just so you know, the primary gear is part of the primary drive that transmits drive from the crankshft to the gearbox. The Enfield has a chain primary drive ie: another chain inside the big polished engine case. You can't see it or adjust it from outside. I hope you're talking about the front sprocket instead.

No not primary chain in the case but the drive gear that goes to the sprocket on the rear wheel!

iRideRoyalnVA, YMMV but my chains can last for 10,000 miles of road use if cleaned and re oiled once week.  This is in year round Seattle type riding conditions. Sitting for long periods invites corrosion that riding and oiling prvents. FWIW

I try n keep her pretty clean and really had no choice but to keep adjusting it cause it would start slapping the swing arm after 300-500 miles.  I just think it was a bad apple.  I'm gonna pay decent coin and hope I'll end up to the good with the RK.  That's all you can do I guess
