Im wondering if using chain lube is such a good idea, when riding in the sand. I have a new 04 Raptor and used chain lube before a trip to the dunes. Using the lube attracts sand which causes abrasion. Which could lead to more wear and tear. Comments?

 

They sell some synthetic chain lube out there that does not attract dirt. (THEY SAY)

 

I had a bad experience with pj blue label and sand. My entire drivetrain was caked with sand. I had to use kerosine to remove the sand and lube (which turns into wax for lack of a better way to describe it).

Save yourself some money and use synthetic motor oil on your chain.

 

I use TriFlow (With teflon) Its great stuff and even after mudding, my chain is still clean.

 

I never use any lube when sand riding. I have yet to find one that does not attract sand and make it stick. Chain Waxes are the worst, they're like glue! When not riding at Silver Lake, I just use good ol' recycled motor oil. Does the trick for me, a lot cheaper too. Though sometimes, I confess, when my brother buys some PJ1, you might catch me using it.

 

I used to use Just grease out of a grease gun.....bo over it and all my bearings after every single ride...now I still grease all the bearings up I use White Lithium Grease (Spray Can, 3.99 i think at CarQuest) and It seems to work good so far...dunno about sand since i ride in everything but sand

 

I dont lube in sand....

 

Honda HP chain lube. Once you use it you'll throw that chain wax crap in the garbage.

 

PJ! air filter oil? i have that for my old foam filter i can put that on my chain?

 

Bel Ray! the best stuff I've ever used. The only stuff I've ever used. Works awesome
