The key is to lube your chain after your ride when it is warm, and spin the tire backwards while spraying on the inside of the chain. I use the Honda brand lube with moly. Very happy.
Modern 'O-ring' chains are a million miles from the things I grew up with, when shaft drive was Nirvana! But having owned and ridden my BeeEmm for over 26 years, all over Europe and the United States, it's with not a little trepidation that I'm facing my new CB1100's chain drive, and the adjustment/lubrication issues that will ensue!
