Tractor supply sells a chain and cable lube that we used on the winch chains and cables on the tow trucks where I used to work. It worked for that, it should work for yours. I would use chain lube from the dirtbike shop if I had chains.

I use to use a product called Kell Lube on my RM250. It is used for the fifth wheel on a truck. It sticks like glue and holds up well.

I use a lube with teflon so it stays on the chain. Busby uses oil or what evers around. JUST MY TWO CENTS.
