Wow, sounds like DID chains have a real problem. There are enough problems noted here to make me feel that there is no bad batch, no pirate, no owner related problems here. Just plain old quality control or engineering problems from the factory. I don't know about AFAM, but Tsubaki sounds like the way to go. If they had as many chain problems more than likely there would be a rash of execs committing harikiri (seppuku). DID guys probably give themselves a bonus for saving a few cents on each chain. Bloody hell.
