I wouldn't worry to much, never found a dealer who had a problem with it, it's more a case of fitting it properly.

As for the "stick oil", to be more accurate it's supposed to be "anti-fling", sticks to the chain better, some propriatory formula, personaly I use old engine oil and have done for a very long time, the last chain on an SV returned 54,000 miles, so if it works like that, I'm happy.

Cheers Mark.
