Been a long long while since I have replaced a chain and sprocket set on a motorcycle. My other bike is a shaft drive. Just did one yesterday on the BMW. The chain had oil on it from the factory. A bunch of the lube came off onto the center stand leg and some dripped onto the exhaust causing some smoke of course during my test ride.
My question is do I need to add chain lube like right away or is the oil okay for a little while? Is the oil just to keep the chain from rusting in the package or its first slathering of oil/lube? Thank you.
