I lubed it which did not fix the problem so I consulted the mechanic at a Honda dealer who diagnosed it as being 'dry' and gave it a mighty bath with a different kind of lube. That fixed the problem. Given his prescription delivered an improvement, I'm inclined to accept that even O-ring chains perform better when kept lubricated. I also make mine last as long as I can.
Yup. Might want to read the manual.

RE: 2018 CB1100RS
On my previous '13 model, I made 56 Km before selling it, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with the sprockets and chain.
Beside good maintenance, always paved roads, long distances, no wheelies and no traffic/commuting, certainly contributed to their longevity, not to mention about OEM quality...

That's pretty good PB, 56 kms.

From your pics, I can judge that you ride more "dusty" roads, which will shorten sprocket/chain longevity = normality.

RE: 2018 CB1100RS
Not in line with a "classic" look. I agree completely. When they released the new water-cooled Triumph Thruxton with the "R" version the same thing stuck out...gold shocks and forks. Doesn't look right on a retro inspired bike. Now, look at the standard Thruxton with the green paint...WOW, that's a looker.

Agree.
Gold=modern sports 'bikes. Chrome or painted=retro look.
