I use Bel Ray chain lube. It works great and comes clean.

Yes Bel Ray (super clean) is a good prod, I use to run Maxima wax and it wasnt bad in dry conditions - but if you ride in adverse conditions (mud, wet sand) It tends to break down quickly.

If you ask me chain lube is overrated. Most of the time dirt just sticks to it anyway. If you think about it, an o-ring chain is supposed to keep the lube in anyways.
I just wash my quad, let it dry, and give the chain a good coat of wd-40 to keep it from rusting.

ive found that chain lube holds up better and looks to lubricate better than the wax does.....but the chain lube does sling off and cause more mess.

I would use the chain wax. I have had problems with chain lube. I have also found that if you ride the quad for about five minutes and heat up the chain the wax or lube will work the best. the wax just doesn't sling off.

I use BelRay SuperClean. In the past, I've used PJ1 blue and black label. Both were good. I liked the blue the most though.. PJ and BelRay both gum up really well, and dont fling off. My vote goes to BelRay

I wash my quads after every ride. Anything that can rust, will rust. WD40 WD40 WD40 from head to toe, including the chain. Riding in sand mostly, I expect to replace the chains after a couple years, anyway.

If you lube your chain before every ride, either one will work fine. :)

WD 40 or PB Blaster for me spray it before and after every ride. No build up and less expensive
