I asked for some information from people that know... boost if ya have the info that would be beneficial to me, then why not pony it up. why not help out? just blows my mind.

Sidewinder was the best chain I ever ran.  Normally o-ring but if the chain is getting too hot then orings fail.  Your gonna spend $100+ on chains, either on a bunch of cheap ones, or on a good one.  It is the same.

i'm pretty much more concearned with stretching and sprocket wear than with the price... to a point.  i see alot of o-ring gold plate, blah blah chains on ebay, but i guess im just not sure what im looking for. i dont wanna spend 120$ on something thats gonna stretch and ruin my stuff after 5 rides either.

If the chain is short you're going to get shit for life from them.

Short chains burn up...that we know..
Your problem is just that Vood's...IMO...
I'd prolly just go with less expensive chains...But I live less than a mile from Dennis Kirk's scratch and dent store...
If you want I can take a look and see what they have on the cheep

What is the setup?
Are you running to an FNR? HP/Ft-lbs? Distance between sprockets? sprocket Tooth #?

Any pics?
How hard do you ride (leisure or race)?

I am interested in understanding this problem for my own build. Obviously you have a chain issue, please elaborate.

sorry, overlooked the given data. 14-60 for tooth and 9-10 inshes btwn sprkt.

That's not much spacing.
