    New chain - any prep before installing?

    So, I'm doing a chain and sprocket swap on my buddy's ZX6. The new DID O-ring is absolutely bathed in a white-ish lubricant that feels a little more like greasy lotion than oil. I don't remember my last new chain feeling like that. Is there something I should do to prep the new chain? Should I wipe off some of the excess lube or is that the way it's supposed to be? I ordered it by the link instead of getting a 120 and cutting it down, and it looks like it was packed/shipped by hand. I'm wondering if some middle man got over zealous with the lube Gotta be a joke in there somewhere....

      I've always left it on until it's gone then just lube with normal stuff.
