Use your normal chain lube but let it dry for a good amount of time. Even a couple of days. It wont spray as much and it will also last much longer. Also lube the inside of the chain not the outside. Instead of putting it on the top of the chain put it on the the side that hooks onto the sprockets it will lube just as well and help a little bit with it flinging off.

Motul Offroad chain lube, sprayed on at least an hour before riding. The key to chain lube is to let it dry on before you use it and it helped a lot when I learned to spray the inside of the chain.

Are you standing 5 feet back of your quad and just spraying lube at the chain?

Put the rear swingarm on a jack stand and then use Klotz chain lube with the red tube in the nozzle. Apply a slight pressure to the nozzle so it sprays about 20% of full power and spin the tires as you apply a slight amount of lube to the o-ring area of the chain inside and outside.

Is white lithium "bad" for your chain? Just wondering.

Thanks

Some people say WD-40 is bad for the o-rings. I dunno though, IMO the chain will be worn out before it kills the o-rings anyway lol.

I use Maxima ChainWax.
It sprays on clear, and stays on the chain if you let it dry for a few hours first.

IMO you can't go through with any of the clear chain lubes as long as you let it dry before riding. Letting it dry is key.

All the lubes I've used that spray on yellow/brown always caked up on my chain.
Amsoil chain lube killed my chain, I had to brush it heck out of it to get all the build up off. Brown thick junk.
