Multi Purpose used to recommended for chains but no longer. Personally I think they just relabled and now charge a bit more for Chain Saver (sounds better?), but who am I to say. Currently use the Chain Saver. Happy lubing and watch out for those fiery crashes.

I use the blue chain cleaning brush available from Cycle Gear. After cleaning, including a good wipe down, I lube the entire chain with an application of synthetic 80 or 90 weight lube, applied with a tooth brush. After lube, I wipe the chain down well with a rag. Second key thing for me, is chain adjustment. I've had best results over a lifetime of motorcycle riding by setting chain adjustment on the loose side. Too many get overly anal about their chain, over lubing and adjusting it too often and too tightly, stretching it out and causing premature damage to it and to the sprockets. Lastly, just before every other ride, I apply a dab of lube on the inside surface of the chain. This is just enough not to create a mess, but through contact with the sprockets spread to all the rollers so as to lubricate the metal contacting surfaces. There's a plethora of good chain advice in this thread. Using any combination should help CB riders keep their drive chains healthy for a good, long life
