Yes, I would think motorcycle chain lube would work pretty well, it is meant to protect and lubricate exposed metal, similar to what you want to do with the leaf springs, I used to have a spray can left over from my old Kawasaki days.

Are you sure that wasn't bicycle chain lubricant? 

The chain oil I use in my chainsaw is a lot like motor oil (in fact, it is motor oil) and it goes into a reservoir, not a spray-on.

One thing I've never done, and frankly don't know how to do, is clean and lubricate the suspension springs. What do you do? Just wire brush them and squirt from an oil can around them? 


If there is a neat & tidy way to do this - I have never found it. I keep an old paint brush to spread oil all over them and then let them drip for 3 or 4 days. 
If it has been a long while but you're not going to take them apart -- you might start with a dosing of PBlaster and let that soak a few days before going with the heavier oil.
