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.

wd40 after a ride...everything else keeps dirt on it.

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

Castrol chain lub here. Running a O-ring chain.

While on subject. Anyone try a chain brush? Saw one the other day.

You're supposed to oil chain? .....learn new things every day. And that last one lasted for 8 years without any lube at all! Haha.....

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.
