^^^ Off road performance of FZ is not that good...tried it a few times..but i wudnt say its
very bad either....and rainwater is no probs for FZ...but whoa...stay away from mud and slush(had an experience)...after all, the tyres are for streets...

Try using a better quality chain lube like Yamalube which lasts longer&is more water resistant than the other market products.
I use Yamalube dry white type chain spray for my R15 which costs about Rs.1400 a can, but lasts thrice as long as Motul. Check if the same thing is available for FZ also.
Went thru some threads today and found some of them suggesting using
a SAE 90 oil(dont know what it is)...is it ok...i wil buy the yamalube if need be but when you drive 300-400 km a week you need to clean it more often...
and i doubt i wil be able to afford a Can every month...
