Darrsi and unfazed, thanks again for the ideas and the link to the other thread, It does seem to be a common problem (the whining) with the heavy duty chains. I'll pass on your ideas to my mate and I'm sure he'll check all the wheel bearings etc again to be sure. My friend has over 40 years experience working with bikes, he's a very knowledgeable guy and with your help and his, I'm sure we will get this problem sorted out.
I'm tempted to get a not-so-heavy-duty chain and fit it on there just to see if the noise goes away. I noticed that the links on the DID chain are flat and parallel on each side, but the OEM chain that was on it before had links that were concave on each side, not sure if that really makes any difference though, probably not.
