How many miles did you have to put on your DID chain before it broke in?
Thanks!!

It was when you said it sounded like an electric chain pulling away that gave it away, I remembered that noise.
Just make sure the chain has plenty of lube on it, but I can't honestly give you mileage or time span.
Once settled it will quiten right down, but next time you move or remove the rear wheel you will no doubt offset it very slightly again and the noise will reappear until another new path is cut.
As I already said the bike jumping up and down when on the centre stand is just the wheel trying to overtake the chain, but it obviously can't so causes all the eye popping commotion. It will look even worse if the chain is too slack.
There's no real reason why you should be doing that anyway, if you want to lube the chain move the wheel by hand and do it, not while it's spinning, it's just an accident waiting to happen!
