motorcycle chain lube = bad too sticky IMO traps the grit.

All I've ever used in the last 10 years or so:

3in1 for the chain and cables etc.
WD40 for other things
Silicone spray for the forks.

Thats it

I use muckoff to clean
Gt85 after washing or as a pre lube on rusty bits(it happens)
Finish line green for the chain
silicon spray for suspension bits
