Worried about my o rings.

I just cleaned my 2001 SV for the first time. (don't worry i haven't had it from new!) Its my first ever bike and I've only had it 2 weeks, but i wanted to get it nice and clean for my test on Wednesday.

Anyway, have a Scott oiler fitted so there was crud everywhere - under the bike and all around the back wheel. I got a bit carried away and spayed gunk (degreaser) everywhere and it came up lovely and clean. After cleaning it, i just turned the scottoiler up a few notches and turned the back wheel slowly round for a few mins to re-lube it. (i forgot to buy a spay on lube when i was at the bike shop.)

Anyway i just read in the service manual that cleaning with anything other than Kerosene, or lubing with anything other than engine oil can damage the o rings. It even says that using commercial drive chain lube can damage o rings? Would this include scottoil?

Do u think I've damaged them or am i worried about nothing?

Don't worry there's nothing wrong with using chain lube on o ring chains!!!!

They will be fine.I reckon any lube is better than no lube on the chain.What does destroy o rings is letting them run dry.They then fail and let the grease out of the links,and wear soon follows.
