But is it as good as gear oil?

I'm just using a can on Honda branded chain spray. Allways assumed it was for rust prevention. And I always clean my chain at times of need. Amazing how touchy it gets when the chain isn't adjusted properly.

OTOH I lubed (wax based spray for benefit of orings) the CBs chain every ~600 miles and no adjustment needed for the 12,500 miles I enjoyed it...that I remember.

well, don't know if this is ok to post on the oiling chain tread, but, something weird happened to my chain, with 19000 km the X rings started to break, I don't know if it was because of my bad cleaning method, my choice of cleaning product, or the different oils I used
what I know is that I killed the X rings on a DID chain with only 19000 km

More info Motorat. What is your method and product?
Not acetone and a wire wheel I hope
RE: Chain Lube - SportsterDoc - 07-01-2019
For the CB I used Dupont Chainsaver ($7 at Walmart)
It is labeled"o-ring safe"

no wire wheel
, I used a small paint brush 
, but the cleaning was done with something I thought to be petroleo, like the one used to light those old lamps, it's something I have at work, but probably is not what I thought it to bee.
not using that any more, just don't know what to use to remove the old dirt and grime out of the chain
RE: Chain Lube - Lord Popgun - 07-01-2019
Yeah, maybe that was it. Sounds like petroleo is what we in the US call kerosene.

I stocked up on the Dupont Teflon multi-purpose dry wax spray lube just before it was discontinued in favor of the Chainsaver.
I have two cans untouched and one in use so I'm going to continue with my usual routine regardless, as somebody said, even though I know now I may be wrong
