    What do you lube your chain with?

    the 350x manual says to lubricate the drive chain with SAE #80 or #90 gear oil, what would be the best to use/what do you use? Also how often do you clean and lube the chain? thank you

    I use some generic spray on white lithium grease after every ride. Is it the best? I don't know. But it is easy to put on and it stays put.

    I just use some gear oil. Or in a pinch, I might use bar and chain oil for a chainsaw.

    I like wax spray on an o-ring chain, doesn't pick up or throw much. In theory you don't even have to lube an o-ring chain, but it does prevent rust.

    I think you're confusing drive chains with a different kind of chain.
