Grease in primary chaincase

While I was surfing some sites for info I found part of an article that had someone putting grease in the primary. I can get the link but the article isn't really all that related to the greased primary. I figured I'd see if anyone had heard of this before. Probably a temporary fix to quiet a worn primary chain but ya' never know. I couldn't see much benefit for the clutch either. Just curious.
 
that is kind of like pure stp in engine, my brother bought a bike , when he looked at it it was hot (temp) a little hard on the kick starter. but he thought it was ok, took it home. the next day we had to pull it with the car to get it to turn over to start, well had to drive it back, found out the guy used stp straight in it cause " it smoked a little"

This would be an exceedingly bad idea in your wet clutch primary.

The article was about changing over to a primary belt drive and had lots of pics. The dissassembly photos of the chain drive showed alot of grease. I would guess a tube full. I can't see how the clutch would even work with that.
