Keep the chain clean, so that you don't have dust leaching oil from the rings.
Shine it up with a very lightly oiled rag and job done

t's just gotta be on the right (left) side
yes.
That's from the valve covers? I guess it weeps behind the engine heat covers? That's much worse than mine.
Oh, not to derail, I use Chain Wax.

Dupont Multi-Use Teflon ... might be called something else now. Best stuff I've ever used, and something ridiculous like $6 a can at Lowes.
It wasn't sold in Canada, so I bought about 15 cans last time I was in the States. Should last awhile.

-- after many years of using all the different lubes & waxes which causes all kinds of debris/crap/dirt and dust to stick to the chain, i found that the best way to keep your chain performing/looking the best is:
-- first, clean it off completely (WD-40 followed up with a full wipe down, (as X-box suggests) but, then i take a sewing machine oiler (small test tube like vial with a long needle tip) and put 1/2 drop of motor oil directly on the O rings....not much more than 1/2 drop, or it will fling off, and weep on to the exhaust...each and every O ring (anything to get me out of the house)

have a look at pit-bull, their stands are great. you will need to email them for a quote to ship to europe though. They shipped mine to the UK I think I paid 60USD or something. Well worth it, its a work of art.
