In truth the manufacturers specification for drive chain care can be more ignored than then specifications they tell about engine oil for example. The final drive chain of the Honda CRF250L is from DID and I would recommend you use the care specification recommend by the original manufacturer. |

I would not recommend using gear or engine oil, This oil is too thin (runny) and will drip off your chain and also fling off at speed covering your rear rim, leg and possibly even get on your rear brake rotor. ( its even more thin in hot climates like Thailand ) |

Use what you want Matty. If the chain feels wet it has enough it doesn't need to drip or get flung anywhere. How much one applies makes a huge difference. If there is a way to regulate the application but using a metering device them there is no excess and no need for fancy chain specific lubricant. Spraying with an aerosol is difficult to know when there is enough or too much? |
