zzzz Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 whats the best chain lube for sand. I have some stuff now that is real thick and the sand sticks to it really bad. It's a mess to clean off. Quote
MotulMonsta Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Maxima chain wax dries to a nice protective film..but you have to apply it the night prior. Lithium based lubricants work good..like the lithium spray in a can. Quote
2001SSTBanshee Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Honda Pro chain lube by far. I've used the chaun wax, but like this much better. Quote
sredish Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 I am a longtime Maxima chain wax fan. I like that stuff a lot, it dries to a nice dry plastic-like coating. I have just bought my first Honda Pro chain lube and have not used it yet. But I have heard such rave reviews, I feel stupid not to at least try it once. Quote
brugal Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Ive read the same about Honda Pro chain lube buy the guys on here that hit the dunes... Quote

BansheeBrian Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Does all that oil and wax help sand to stick to your chain? Sand likes to grind chains and can do it in a hurry.Especially with some help from lubricants.If I know I'm heading to the sand pit I wont lube or goop it at all. Quote
sredish Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Does all that oil and wax help sand to stick to your chain? the wax dries to a film that is dry and not sticky and makes it harder for stuff to get in there, so the sand doesn't stick to it, where some lubes the sand will stick to it. Quote
BdBanshee Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 I also use WD40 on my chain. Dean Sundahl used it for years racing and winning the Baja 500/1000, and if it is good enough for his race quad, then it will work fine for us duners. I have used it for many years with good results. Quote
erbilabuc Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 i dont use shiet, the orings are supposed to do the "lubricating" part- or at least thats what I tell people when they ask me what chain lube I use Quote
DIRTBIKEZ Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 The o-rings require lubrication so they dont dry out and deteriorate. Quote
