How do you oil a motorcycle chain?

[chris t]

I've never done it and recently was informed I should be doing it every 300-500 miles (oops) anyways, what should I use, where can I get it, and how do I apply it? I saw some spray stuff, do the auto parts stores (pep boys, autozone, etc) carry them? Also, do you just apply it, move it so that the chain rotates, then apply the rest (Since not all of the chain is exposed) I"d really appreciate some help. Thanks!

wd-40 is the cheapest u can buy that from pretty much any auto store or u can go to your local dealer and get a synthetic lube for longer chain life. when your putting on the lube rotate the wheels so that u lube the whole chain

The guy at my motorcycle shop told me to use regular 10W-30. Thats what I have been using and seems to work great. Just move the bike around untill you coat the whole chain.
