Also can you use tranny fluid for your chain?

I just use Polaris chain lube. I lube my after washing and drying, and also about 20 minutes before I ride. I don't lube excessvely, I just make sure there is enough lube on my chain.

What do you use to clean the chain? I bought some Bel Rae chain lube from the dealer and they told me to use some kerosene. Can I use carb cleaner or something in an aerosol can?

ExtremeV6,
I clean my chain with WD-40, it cuts the chain lube and grim loose and then I wash it out with the water hose,dry it off, and apply Polaris chain lube. I don't clean my chain every time I lube it, just as it needs it. I'm not sure if my method is the best one ,but my Scrambler is over a year old now and the chain and sprockets still look great![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

After lots of oey goeys....the rest have gone in the trash in favor of Tri-flo. This is a teflon equipped spray. You will never....yes, I said never have to clean your chain again, and yes, it is o-ring friendly. Just trying to save some hassles and headaches.
