Does chain sprocket needs to be lubed? And I am worried about its mileage too

The mileage is just fine. It's a 150cc mill. I own a CB Unicorn and it gives about 52 to 55kmpl on highways and within 50kmpl in city conditions. If you want to get better FE, switch to a 125cc instead. Also, riding at speeds like 110kms or anything above 60 to 65kmpl, reduces the mileage drastically and you can get as low as 40 to 45kmpl. Yes, it's a good idea to lube the chain. I clean mine every 1000kms and lube it. Also, check for the chain slack time and again. Honda Mineral oil isn't as effective as some other ones out there. Literally the worst you can find. I only used it during warranty and then changed to Castrol Activ 20w50. Or you could use Castrol Power 1 20w50. The Power makes the engine for rev happy (if you're a harcore user). Also, I change the engine oil during 2000 to 2300kms.

Welcome to Xbhp. Change the spark plug, air filter to new and adjust tappet clearance if not done. Maintain appropriate tyre pressure always (check bi-weekly/monthly atleast), shift to 5th gear ASAP with gentle acceleration without lugging engine (shift near 4500 rpm or upwards) and stay in the top gear as much as possible without frequent braking - these will push the mileage little upwards.

I change my oil every 2200 to 2500kms for best performance. I've always used Castrol 20w50 (Mineral Oil) since my warranty was over. No issues with it yet. I change the air filter at every 10k interval as well. 60 is the sweet spot from what I've seen on the bike. It's just a powerful commuter with good bottom and mid-range and somewhat good top end. The thing about oils is that, if the climate doesn't suit your grade, there will be heating issues. The ambient temperature here is usually 34 to 35 degrees and that's why I use a 20 grade oil. If you leave in a cooler area like Bangalore, 10w30 will work just fine for you. How much have you run of the new sprocket? I tighten mine at every 1000kms (gets somewhat lose; stock Honda sprocket), clean it and get it lubed. Feel free to reply regarding anything you need related to this vehicle.

There's no definite time for lubing but if you're hearing any sounds or having issues with smooth chain flow, feel free to lube it. Make sure to clean it first and get it free of any dust. Also, post some pictures of your bike dude. Do you have the rear disc variant?

It's worth the lube. Saves you the trouble for any sluggishness or slack with throttle variations. I didn't realise that the Dazzler had a rear disc as standard since the 150, 160, Hornet and CB Trigger don't have them as standard.
