New O-ring chain very stiff, is this normal??
As shown in this video, my brand new out of the box D.I.D. o-ring chain resists movement so much that it is stiff.
I have not been able to gather from searching whether this is normal. Without knowing any better, and comparing it to every chain I have ever interacted with, it seems like the plates are sandwiched together wayyyyy too tight.
My bike is in the air on a Saturday night and the place I bought from is closed on Sundays, so I can't go ask them at the moment...

Oh sorry, I am on an '87 Hurricane 600!
The stock gears are 15/44, I was running 16/44 (without knowing it!), and now I will have 15/45.
So not a big difference from stock, but should be a noticeable difference from what I'm used to.
FWIW, I tried updating my Details/Signature in User CP, but the Vbulletin message tells me I don't have access to do that.
