To do it by the book, clean with non-flammable or high flash point solvent and wipe dry. Lubricate with 80/90 gear oil or drive chain lubricant specified for o-ring chains. Wipe off excess. Ref. shop manual, p. 3-19. I like the Bel Ray super clean lube myself, about every 500 mi. after 1200 mi, I have not seen the need for a cleaning. My Bel Ray can says safe for o-rings, but does not say it is made for it.
