Brand new chain, what now?

I got a brand new chain for the street wheels. It's stiff as hell. Should I let it soak in kerosene then lube it up? Or just put it together and lube it?

Is it an O-ring chain? If so, they get loose as they warm up while riding.

Go ahead & lube it. It won't hurt whether it's O-rings or not. I love Dupont multi-lube Spray from Lowes Hardware.

Cool: Chains are pretty cheap anyway so don't worry too much. Enjoy That KLX, I had mine out today here in NC and had a blast as always.
