I know chain maintenance is as personal as which brand of 2 stroke oil, or tranny oil we use... But, my son broke a chain over the weekend, of course he does not maintain it like dad does. Plus when we replaced the chain about 3 years ago it was with a cheap chain. So I was just curious as to the types of chains and different methods, oils, cleaners the forum members were using.
On my bike I'm running an O-ring chain, I used to use Bel-Ray Chain wax, but switched to WD-40 about 2 years ago. So far it seems to hold up fine. On the boys, quad (yes he's a quad turd) we were running a cheap non O-ring chain. He would clean it and spray it down with WD-40 once in a while... it failed... I saved my last chain (O-ring style) its currently soaking in an oil bath and will go on the quad when we get some time.
