Will a stock non-oring chain last 180mi in sand?

[R_Little]

I ride a WR400 with a 444 kit.

I noticed my DID 520v chain was toast.

I had a slightly used renthal CS and a Sunstar aluminum rear sprocket in my parts box.

I also have a stock DID non oring chain (520 DMA2 I think) off a late model CR that was replaced with an oring chain and never used.

Question is: Is it okay to use a non oring chain on a big bore bike? Will it last for 2 days....180 sand miles total?

I really do not want to stick a brand new 0-ring chain on anything but brand new sprockets, but will if I have to.

Thanks

I dont think my chain would last 180miles in the dirt.? Dont risk it. Why take the chance of finding out it wont hold when your in the middle of nowhere. Honestly i think it will last, but if it where me i would pick up a o-ring chain just to be sure.

I put the o-ring chain on.
