Hey y'all, have a quick question for you.. The past couple weekends I've been riding to work on Sundays, which is a whole 10 minutes away on the moto.
There has been light rain both last week and today, and I'm curious if I should be concerned about lubing the chain after such quick little bursts? It's covered while I'm at work and home, so it's not getting drenched.. just wanted to see what you all thought. I know I tend to be paranoid about these things, but better safe than sorry, right?
He's a 1973 Honda CB350F, and I did a full clean and lube about 3 weeks ago.

Cheers!
 
I'd probably just do a quick spray while the chain is warm, takes 2min and it's cheap insurance. Full-on cleanings as per regular schedule and after riding on salted roads.
 
as long as it has a good lube residue on the chain i wouldn't bee too worried about a bit of rain. however a quick spray shouldn't hurt while warm like FiReSTaRT said.
