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.

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.
