> This- on the O-ring chains- gas, kero, whatnot- all kills the o-rings. on the MX bikes, we use non-O-ring chains and just clean/lube the chains regularly.

Gasoline, carb cleaner, brake cleaner, etc hurts the o-rings. But kerosene and diesel are ok. Some manufacturers even recommend using kerosene to clean the chain (I think Suzuki does).
