Qucik sand and chain question

[redcell43]

ok From the first time i went to the dunes i found out that chain wax sucks not only dose it collect the sand it throws the shit all over your bike. so this is how i have been doing it for the dunes. I have two chains one for dirt and one for sand the one for dirt i dont really care about its the stock one and use chain wax carefully but still have the problem of it getting thrown all over my bike. on the sand chain i use plain old wd-40 and let it dry it seems to work ok and the chain seem to wear at a normal rate. so i think its works ok but if anyone know of a graphit base chain lube or some better than changeing chain once or twice a month. i clean the chains in Kerosene. that what i told was the best.

that could be hurting the o-rings, not sure on that though. but ive found belrays white chain lube to be the best. you can hardly remove the shit, and after 6 or so dune rides my chain isnt even beginning to show signs of wear.

i have clean them and my old atc too, i had in kerosene and never had any problems it wont dry out the o rings but i have only been told that. so i dont know but i have had the stock chain since 01 and it still works fine.

I only use wd-40 on my chain. Other stuff slings everywhere. I'd just rather replace chains and sprockets more often than clean the mess.

If I remember right the yamaha service manual says to soak the chain in kerosene.

I also use the Bel-Ray chain lube, works really well. No problems riding in the sand or the mud with it.

PJ-1 Blue labe works great, Just let it set overnight and it will stay on your chain no problem, plus I find it does not attract to much dirt once dry.

cant remember the last time i lubed my chain.

[redcell43]

how dose the belray work in sand. dose the sand stick to the chain. and the same for the pj-1. cause sand will eat the crap out of the chain and sprockets.

I use the bell ray stuff too, it turns your chain white but it works awesome. It stays on forever and is O-ring safe. I think it is the first lube I have used that does not fling all over everything I hate lubes that do that!
