If you dont have a special chain lube, a heavy oil such as SAE 90 is recommended over lighter as you dont want it coming off when centrifical force does its thing. Apply oil to both sides of the rollers so that oul will penetrate to the rollers and bushings. Apply the oil to the O-rings so that the O-rings will be coated with oil....wipe off any excess. Well there ya have it guys, a special lesson directly from the zx-10 service manual. Hope it helps

I wish more people would read service manuals...
