Hi Trozza,
Depends on how long your ride is? If you apply the lube as Brian has indicated then it should last an easy couple hundred km’s (or more)of dry weather riding. Depends on lube type, quality, application, road speed etc. Make sure you spray it onto the inner side of the links and there’s no need to drown the chain. If you ride in the rain, the lube will get washed out quite quickly. Keep an eye and ear on it. Don’t let the chain “rattle and squeak”. It’s always good to to take the bike for a short run after you wash it to help dry the bike. Moisture leads to corrosion. When you get back you can give the chain a quick spray. Lubing a warm chain is best though.

So do you mean to oil it after each ride? I been oiling only once a month, that is whenever I do a wash, once finished I’ll oil the chain.
