First of all, what type of oil/grease do you all use on your chains. All that I have been using so far is the stuff that comes in the polaris lube kit. That stuff seems to be gone after on ride and the chain is dry. What works good?

Second, Polaris oil is too expensive and probobly not even that great, what other kinds of oil do you guys use? whats best?

Thanks!

 

I use the chain oil(not sure what called) but it is in a tall red can......as for oil, I have heard of people using amsoil...

 

Give Triflow with Teflon a try on your chain. The stuff works great!

 

where do u get that stuff jason? im gettin a new chain and stuff and i want to keep it nice and clean.

 

I get it from Carquest (a local auto parts store) Modquad said he has gotten it from Walmart as well. Shop around your local auto parts stores. One of them should carry it. It aint cheap, but it is some good stuff

 

how long does it last? on the chain and how long far does one bottle go?

 

Walmart for the 3M Marine plastic spray. True Value Hardware for Tri-flow. Grainger also carries it...kinda spendy there though. Tri-flowindustrial.com. Along with the chain use, if you slightly pull back the boots on your steering pivots and give 'em a periodic squirt. Make sure to lube your chain after every wash. Once you swithch to Tri-flow, your chain will be self-cleaning. The teflon in the spray acts just like the teflon on a frying pan....da eggs don't even stick, hmmm, time for breakfast.

i think i might try some triflow... does it stick to the swing arm and make a mess of everything like regular chain lube does? i hate that!!!

 

You might have some small dirt deposits up front where the chain wraps around the front sprocket, but for the most part, it's self cleaning.

 

belray is messy as hell... and it dont like to come off!!!
the maxima chain wax i use now isnt too bad... but id like something cleaner... thanks fer the info.
