Best Lubrication For Rear Drive Chain

I would like to see that. I have never seen a belt damaged?
I have 46,000 mile on my FB belt and it drives a lot on gravel country roads and my driveway. That had to be a really feak thing.

For what it's worth I used to have a "Water Buffalo" It was a 3 cylinder, 2 stroke, water cooled screamer made by Suzuki. Every 6 months I would take the chain off soak it in mineral spirits to clean it, then inspect it. If all was good I would get a big coffee can put a enough vaseline and just a little 30 weight oil in the can to cover the chain coiled up in the can. Outside over very low heat warm up the mixture to a liquid then put the chain in. Heat a little longer then let it cool. Take the chain out wipe off the excess reinstall and go. Every part of the chain got lubricated especially under the rollers. In between this procedure I would use a little Belray chain lube when needed. Keep in mind this was in the late 70's I'm sure the technology in lubricants and chains has come a long way.
