I use Bel Ray Super clean on my raptor.The thing I like about it is that it doesn't make a mess.It is a good lube and very little will fling off.I usually ride mine around the house a few laps to warm the chain and then put it on before every ride.When I finish a ride there might be 3 or 4 spots on the underneith of my bike.I have tried other's and the whole back of the bike would be black from the chain lube.I like the super clean from Bel Ray.

I use Amsoil chain wax ..90% of the time it stays on the chain and doesn't fling off when you ride ..you just have to watch how much you put on ..and since it is and O-Ring chain you don't have to lube it as often ..the O (rubber seal) keeps most of the lube where it needs to be

On my Warrior I use Bel Ray chain lube cause its O-ring safe and it costs 10.00 .What I like about it is it dosent come off as easy as the other O-ring safe chain lubes and the can is a pretty good size compared to the other chain lubes

I also use bel-ray superclean. It seems to stay on very well and dirt doesn't seem to stick to it very easily.

Good write-up on chain lubes in the June 2002 issue of Motorcross Action magazine. I use Maxima Chain Wax because it sets up dry. I've tried Bel-Ray also, and Sidewinder is supposed to have a good one Sidewinder P51 although I haven't tried it yet.
